St Fin Barre's Cathedral

A stately 19th-century cathedral dedicated to the patron saint of Cork.

Reviewed By igal27 - Rehovot, Israel

The walk up to the cathedral through the grounds is very impressive -- the cathedral is imposing and the grounds inviting. The kids enjoyed playing in the grass and walking through the maze. The cathedral from the inside is stunning, well worth a visit.
