Description:
- Situated in a quiet part of town, south of the Lee, St Finbarre's Cathedral is dedicated to the founder and patron saint of the city. Designed by Willliam Burges, building was completed in 1878. It's an exuberant triple-spired edifice built in Gothic Revival style, and decorated with stone tracery. Inside, the painted and gilded apse ceiling depicts Christ surrounded by angels. The stained glass windows below tell the story of Christ's life.
