It stands on a bluff of Sunday's Well, built predominantly of red sandstone which appears particularly impressive when looked at from the Mardyke. The site on which it stands was a gift to the city from Miss Mary MacSwiney, a local resident. Public subscription for the project was organised by the Very Reverend Michael O'Sullivan, Vicar General of Cork. Construction of the church began on 24 October 1851 with the foundation stone laid by the Bishop of Cork William Delaney. Half way to completion, on 4 November 1853, when much of the stonework and part of the roof was done, a natural disaster mighty storm fell upon the structure blowing off the roof and seriously damaging the walls. The event aroused nationwide sympathy and saw many donations for rebuilding of the church coming in from many dioceses and private individuals across Ireland. The completed church was solemnly dedicated on 20 July Address: 122 Sunday's Well Rd, Cork City, Ireland.

Located 2 kms from Patrick s street is the Cork City Gaol, one of the main visitor attractions of Cork. This fortress stands as an example of the brilliant architectural and historical heritage of the city. A hit amongst all aged visitors the City Gaol lets you in on the day to day activities and life of those who were kept prisoners in the facility.

A Beamish family built this beautiful building as a place for their residence in In 1902 and 1903, the house was a host to the Cork International Exhibition, where many people visited the Art, Machinery and Agricultural exhibits. Later in 1906, this site became Public Park. In its initial few years, the building served as a Municipal Office as well as an Air Raid Protection Office. It then received grants from Cork Corporation and the County Council and reopened in 1945, after the Emergency and was administered by University College. With Prof. M.J. O Kelly as the Curator, the museum began its work of collecting materials and setting up exhibits. Successive curators and museum staff were successful in obtaining important archaeological finds from this region and exhibiting them. Certain objects in the exhibits date back to the medieval period. It also houses Civic Regalia from the 19th and 20th centuries. Of these, silver and glass works of Cork, along with Youghal needlepoint Lace deserve special mention. Funding from the European Regional Development Fund and City Council enabled the museum to build an extension, which opened in the late 1990s. One can enjoy the view of the River Lee, enjoy a coffee or snack and admire the trip to this museum in the Riverview Café.

Address: Mardyke, Cork City, Ireland Image Courtesy of Flickr and benoutram E) University College Cork (must see) Found as a college in 1845, Queen s College Cork, became a university in 1908 and was renamed in 1998 as University College Cork, better known as UCC. With over 17,000 registered students, UCC is well known for its quality of education. What is surprising is that the University also serves as a famous tourist spot for visitors in Cork. The UCC Visitor s Centre also runs guided tours of the University buildings on a daily basis. These tours are a useful insight into the history and culture of the college.

Set up in 1880, The Crawford Observatory has an equatorial telescope along with a siderostatic one. One can visit this site to get answers to some astronomical questions and gaze at some lighter stars in the sky. Later, one can stroll freely in the President s garden, which was out of public limits until the 1960s. Some trees in this garden like the Redwoods, oaks and beeches date back to 1800, when the university was founded. Like the city, the University too has fascinating buildings and stories associated with them. A guided tour on your visit has much more to tell. Address: College Rd, Cork City, Ireland.

Deirdre Clune, on 1st February The bridge is a single span construction made of steel, stretching some 57 metres in length and having a 3 metre-wide footpath cantilevered from the bottom chord of the arch. Integral to the design is a circular viewing platform built into cantilever retaining walls, adjoining the north bank seat. The bank seats are of reinforced concrete and have architecturally shaped parapets resting on precast concrete piles, driven metres into the ground. The bridge is stiffened by the steel deck top plate which helps control its deflections and dampen its dynamics. The plate prevents the arch member from deflecting too much out of plane. Mardyke bridge was manufactured off site with the finishing touches and assembly done on site, upon which it was lifted into position in a single operation. Address: Mardyke, Cork City, Ireland.
