St Mary's Cathedral, Limerick, Anglican cathedral in Limerick, Ireland.
The cathedral rises above Bridge Street with gray stone walls, eight bells in its 120-foot tower, and medieval misericords inside the building.
King Domhnall Mhor O'Brien founded Saint Mary's Cathedral in 1168 on the site of his royal palace, which was built upon a former Viking meeting place.
The cathedral houses Ireland's only complete set of medieval carved misericords, featuring detailed wooden carvings beneath the choir stall seats.
Saint Mary's Cathedral opens Monday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with admission fees supporting the building's maintenance and restoration.
The stones around the cathedral's west door contain marks from defenders who sharpened their weapons during historical sieges of Limerick.
