Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Cork, Ireland

The cathedral features three limestone spires topped with Celtic crosses and exhibits detailed stone carvings made from local materials from Little Island and Fermoy.

William Burges designed the cathedral in 1863 after winning a competition organized by the Church of Ireland to create a new architectural statement.

The interior displays extensive biblical narratives through stained glass windows, depicting scenes from both Old and New Testaments across its walls.

The cathedral holds regular services with Choral Eucharist at 11:15 AM and Choral Evensong at 3:30 PM on Sundays, plus daily noon prayers.

The cathedral houses Ireland's largest pipe organ, positioned in a distinctive pit arrangement found nowhere else in Britain or Ireland.
