Cork St. Anne’s Church

Built in 1722, St. Anne’s Church in Cork is a prominent landmark, distinguished by its large golden fish weathervane perched atop the bell tower, visible from much of the city. The church’s eight bells, celebrated in the 19th-century poem ‘The Bells of Shandon,’ offer visitors a unique experience: the chance to climb the tower and try their hand at ringing out a tune. The church’s historical and architectural significance, combined with the interactive bell-ringing, make it a memorable stop for those exploring Cork.
