St. Colman’s Cathedral or Cobh Cathedral

Cobh Cathedral is one of the most breathtaking Cathedrals in the country. The Cathedral sits high above the town of Cobh overlooking Cork Harbour. Construction began in 1868 and was not completed until over half a century later due to increases in costs and revisions of the original plans.

Spike Island

In the last 1300 years Spike Island has been host to a 7th century Monastery, a 24 acre Fortress, the largest convict depot in the world in Victorian times and centuries of island homes. The island’s rich history has included monks and monasteries, rioters and redcoats, captains and convicts and sinners and saints.

Today the island is dominated by the 200 year old Fort Mitchel, the star shaped Fortress which became a prison holding over 2300 prisoners. It was the largest prison in the world at the time and there has never been a larger prison in Ireland or Britain before or since.
