Ardmore Cathedral, 12th-century cathedral ruins in County Waterford, Ireland.
The cathedral features a nave and choir divided by a pointed arch, with carved stone panels on its west wall depicting biblical narratives.
Built between the 9th and 14th centuries on Saint Declan's monastery site, the cathedral received formal recognition in 1170 under Meolettrim O Duibh-rathra's construction.
The cathedral walls contain ancient ogham-inscribed stones and religious carvings that represent early Christian art traditions in medieval Ireland.
Visitors can examine the 72-foot-long nave with its Romanesque windows and observe the detailed stone carvings depicting biblical figures and events.
The cathedral's decorative panels show influences from the Poitou-Angoumois region of France, making it different from other Irish churches of that period.
