Cork Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
There are many architectural gems in Cork, from the stately, classic City Hall to the impressive neo-gothic structure of the three-spired St Fin Barre's Cathedral. There are also many impressive art galleries, such as the Crawford Municipal Art Gallery and the Glucksman Gallery. A true Cork landmark is St Anne's Church, Shandon, with its splendid views of the whole of the city and its famous bells. Just beside the church stands Firkin Crane, Cork's 18th-century butter market, and the Cork Butter Museum, one of many interesting historical museums in Cork, can be found on O'Connell Square.
While Cork city has plenty of interest to offer, there is also a lot to experience in the surrounding countryside. An essential attraction is Blarney Castle, 8km (5 miles) outside of the city, where the Stone of Eloquence can be found.
