Galway Cathedral
Cathedral Square, Galway, IrelandTel: +353 91 563577
Possibly the most impressive building in Galway, this cathedral was the last great stone cathedral constructed in western Europe. The Cathedral is dedicated to Our Lady Assumed into Heaven and overlooks the Salmon Weir Bridge. The architect was John Robinson, a native of Dublin. The building is in the Renaissance style. Built in 1957, it is not particularly antiquated, yet still corresponds with conventional church design and features a marble floor and brown cedar ceiling. The woodwork, stained glass and mosaics were all hand-crafted by Irish people. The fine cut stone with which the Cathedral is built was paid for by Irish people, who purchased and donated single stones over a period of time. See local press for listings of Cathedral events.
