Saint FinBarre's Cathedral

Edit This
Stands where the saint established his monastic school about 650 AD. A place of worship for 1,350 years, and around which the City of Cork rose. Many Corkonians has never seen the inside of the Cathedral, because (as an Anglican church) we were (until recently) not allowed by the catholic hierarchy.

The standing cathedral dates from 1870 as triple-spired example of French-gothic architecture. Among its most striking features are the fine rose window, the mosaic pavements and the elaborate carving throughout. History at: http://cathedral.cork.anglican.org/history/history.html
