Glendalough Cathedral, Medieval cathedral ruins in Glendalough, Ireland
The stone walls and arches of St. Peter and St. Paul's Cathedral stand within an ancient monastic settlement between two lakes in County Wicklow.
The cathedral, constructed between the 10th and 12th centuries, became part of the Dublin diocese in 1214 and sustained damage from English forces in 1398.
The cathedral remains an integral part of Ireland's religious heritage, attracting visitors who explore the architectural elements of early Christian monasticism.
The cathedral grounds open daily throughout the year, with parking facilities and marked pathways leading to various structures within the monastic complex.
Granite blocks from the cathedral site were used in 1042 to construct one of the largest known Viking longships recorded in medieval manuscripts.
