Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Sligo, Catholic cathedral in Sligo, Ireland.
The cathedral features a Norman architectural style with a 70-meter square tower, pyramid-capped structure, and supporting turrets at the west end.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1869 under Bishop Laurence Gillooly's direction, replacing St. John's Parish Chapel as the diocesan center.
The interior contains sixty-nine stained glass windows and eighteen limestone pillars connecting the nave and aisles of this religious landmark.
Located on Temple Street, the cathedral maintains a seating capacity of 1400 people and serves the Roman Catholic Diocese of Elphin.
The cathedral's main entrance faces away from Sligo Town center due to conditions set by the Protestant landowner who sold the property.
