Cavan, County capital in Ulster region, Ireland.
Cavan spreads across valleys and hills at 113 meters elevation, featuring narrow medieval streets that connect to modern commercial districts and residential areas.
The settlement originated between 1300 and 1330 when Irish clan chief Giolla Íosa Ruadh O'Reilly established a stronghold, later receiving a royal charter in 1611.
The Cathedral of Saints Patrick and Felim, built in 1938, represents ecclesiastical architecture with its limestone walls and central tower rising above the townscape.
The Cavan Institute provides educational programs in technology, business, and creative arts, serving students from the surrounding regions and international locations.
The town maintains 365 lakes within its county boundaries, establishing it as a primary freshwater fishing destination in the northern part of Ireland.
