Saints Peter and Paul's Church, Cork, Catholic church in Cork, Ireland
The red sandstone building features a central nave with two aisles, decorated with ornamental ironwork and a cross with foliated arms at the western gable.
The foundation stone was placed on August 15, 1859, and architect E. W. Pugin completed the construction in 1864 after winning a design competition.
The interior showcases Italian craftsmanship with a Carrara marble altar, white and black marble flooring, and Russian oak furnishings made by artisans from Leuven.
The church maintains regular service schedules and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural features at Carey's Lane in central Cork.
The grand altar, carved from 36 tons of Carrara marble, stands beneath ceiling panels decorated in blue and gold within the church's apse.
