Top Things to do in Cork
The 10 Best Sacred & Religious Sites in Cork, Province of Munster
Plan to cross many bridges when in Cork. Ireland's third-largest city began life as an island and now spans both banks of the River Lee, with watery channels running beneath some of its main thoroughfares. The best way to experience this hilly southern seaport is on foot, following the signposted walking tour past St. Finn Barre's Cathedral and the riverside quadrangle of University College up the hill to red and white Shandon Church. Along the way, you'll meet plenty of the city's talkative residents.

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

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.

This is an amazing piece of gothic architecture built very slowly using wheelbarrows and painstaking stonework in a time when money ran out and work ceased until it could be resumed. The church has a friary within it and its interior is beautiful, there are windows there by Harry Clarke, which are resplendent and very ornate, The altar is embellished with cloisoinne, and behind it is a window dedicated to James Connolly, one of our brave freedom fighters.

A large church which I happened to see whilst wandering around the city. The were a few people praying inside, and there was definitely a feeling of peace and tranquility in the building which was good to feel - a sort of Holiness within. Like other churches in Cork it was clean and the chapels look used and all in good decorative state. Impressive chancel and good stained glass windows. Very glad I happened to stumble upon this church.

As I walked the village I noticed this quaint Catholic Church and as favorable circumstance would bear, I was in time for their Morning Mass. I was absolutely delighted to attend such a beautiful Mass, receive Communion, meet some of the Sisters of the Missionaries of Charity, and met a very nice woman named Rose. She gifted me music CDs and a fresh peach! I met other people there and I have to say they were all very kind and welcoming, wonderful examples of the charity exemplified by the greetings of St. Elizabeth and the Blessed Virgin Mother. Thank you my new friend Rose and the wonderful parishioners. Go raibh maith agat and Go Neiri on Bothar leat. Thank you and May the road rise with you.
