Situated in Cork, the three spires of the cathedral are visible all over the city.
Saint Finbarrs is definitely worth visiting on any tours of Ireland.
A monastic school was built on the site in 600AD by Saint Finbarr.
It attracted scholars from all over Europe.
The present building is the third cathedral on the site.
It was completed in 1870 in the French Gothic style.
Inside are some rich carvings and fine mosaics.
There is also a cannon ball fired in 1690 and partly responsible for the demise of one of the previous cathedrals.
After visiting Saint Finbarrs why not take a trip around the English Market.
Fantastic odours and fresh food still being sold to the locals.
There are a few great restaurants to enjoy lunch there too.
