St Mary's Cathedral, Tuam, Anglican cathedral in Tuam, Ireland.
St Mary's Cathedral features a red sandstone chancel arch and combines elements from different construction periods spanning the 12th to 19th centuries.
The first cathedral on this location was established in 1101 during High King Turlough O'Connor's reign, marking Tuam's elevation to archbishopric status.
The cathedral houses an oak altar piece from St Columb's Cathedral in Derry and contains decorative elements made from Caen stone and Irish marble.
The cathedral opens its doors to visitors on Friday mornings and afternoons throughout summer months, allowing access to its architectural features.
The rounded chancel arch lacks a keystone, requiring inward-leaning columns to support the structure's weight through an innovative architectural solution.
