Michael Collins Birthplace, Historical building in Sam's Cross near Clonakilty, Ireland.
The Michael Collins birthplace features a rectangular single-story cottage constructed from local stone, with furniture crafted by his father Michael John Collins.
The Essex Regiment soldiers burned down most of the property in April 1921, leaving only one chimney stack and building imprints of the original structure.
The birthplace serves as a National Monument commemorating the life of Michael Collins, a central figure in Ireland's independence movement.
Located 8 kilometers east of Rosscarbery, the site remains open to visitors throughout the year with information panels explaining its significance.
The original dwelling where Michael Collins was born in 1890 later became a farm outbuilding before its preservation as a historical site.
