Dedicated to Anglican worship, it is located on the site of the first monastery founded by Finbarr in the 6th century, which was the origin of the city (in fact, Saint Finbarr is the patron saint of Cork). The current building dates from 1878 and was built in an excessively ornate Neo-Gothic style to designs by William Burges. Inspired by the great French cathedrals, it is built of white limestone, crowned by a 73-meter-high spire. Particularly noteworthy are the three sculpted portals on the west facade and, inside, the stained-glass windows and the rich ambulatory depicting the life of Christ.
