St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral, located in Cork, Ireland, stands as a striking example of neo-Gothic architecture. Its intricate tracery, pointed spires, and stone gargoyles create a visually captivating exterior, while a golden angel, trumpet in hand, crowns the top. Inside, visitors can admire the richly detailed marble mosaics, vibrant stained glass, and ornate sculptures. A unique feature is the cannonball from the 17th-century Siege of Cork, adding a historical touch to the cathedral’s grandeur.
