The town has deep historical roots stretching back centuries. Downpatrick is closely associated with Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, and tradition holds that he is buried within or near the town, though this remains a matter of some historical debate. The town developed as an ecclesiastical center in the medieval period and has retained various historical structures reflecting its past, including remnants of a cathedral and historic street layouts.
