A leisurely 11-minute walk from St. Patrick's Street takes you to the Anglican St. Fin Barre's Cathedral (Ardeaglais Naomh Fionnbarra). In 1862, architect William Burges' design plans were picked from dozens of entries for a cathedral with a budget of £15,000. By the time it was fully constructed, the total cost exceeded £100,000 - but the results were undeniably worth it. The structure was built with Cork limestone, the interior walls are of Cork marble, and detailed mosaics decorate the choir.

Old and charming cathedral with its own cemetery (I suggest to visit it just outside).
