A lovely remnant of medieval Cork hidden down a Victorian terraced street. There's not much remaining, just a tower, but it's free to visit and an architectural cracker. There's a board beside it with information on the history of the abbey that's well worth reading too. Make sure to also visit the nearby Elizabeth Fort at the same time, as both compliment each other well and give you a glimpse into what...

Nice historic landmark hidden in the city. It is very easy to miss though but with the right directions (and the help of google maps) you can find it easily.

I visited here during covid. You can’t go inside understandably, only outside to look at the exterior of the (very old) building. Even though I am a Cork native, I was unaware this place existed.
