St Mary's Cathedral
Highlight • Religious Site
It is thought to be built on the site of a viking thingmote (which is a meeting place) and after that the palace of the O'Brien kings of Thomond.
It is incredible to think that this building has been present throughout many significant historical eras including invasions, sieges and famines.
To enter the cathedral it costs €5.00 for adults and is open 1100-1600 Monday to Saturday.
