St Finbarr’s Cathedral, Cork City

The founder of Cork City chose the site of this 1880 church to build his original church and school around the year 650. The current building replaced a structure from 1735, and only its original bells remain.

St. Finnbar’s Cathedral is an ornate building, with three huge spires in the early French Gothic tradition. It features an organ of 3,000 pipes and the interior is highlighted by unique and stunning mosaics.
