Down Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland.
The Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity rises on Cathedral Hill, featuring pointed arches and detailed stone work throughout its Gothic Revival structure.
The cathedral, reopened for service in 1818, stands on a site with Christian presence since the sixth century when Saint Fergus served as bishop.
The cathedral maintains daily Evening Prayer services from Monday to Friday at 5 PM, forming a central part of Downpatrick's religious activities.
Visitors can explore the cathedral between 10 AM and 3:30 PM from Monday through Saturday, with occasional schedule changes during religious services.
The grounds contain an eleventh-century granite font discovered in 1927 and a granite memorial marking Saint Patrick's believed burial location.

Northern Ireland tells its story through stones, cliffs, and memories. From the Giant's Causeway to Derry's walls, each place seems filled with stories where Celtic myths, medieval heritage, and traces of the modern world intertwine. Belfast, once an industrial hub turned cultural center, showcases its museums and markets to the breeze coming from the Irish Sea. The landscapes of County Antrim enchant with basalt columns, suspension bridges, and cliffs battered by waves. Further inland, stone circles, monasteries, and distilleries extend the journey into a territory where each site links nature and memory. Exploring Northern Ireland is like walking through centuries that are open to the sky, between the legends of Ulster's ancient kings and the contemporary echoes of a resilient land.
