Worth the walk! The marble flooring is gorgeous. Do a little research about this church before you visit. It can seat up to 5000 people! A must see in Galaway.

Beautiful stretch of coastline and a super walking area. Well maintained and clean. The locals walk along here at all hours and it certainly is a nice place for a leg stretch and some fresh air.
We were in awe as soon as we walked in. The architecture and bigger- than- life statues and artwork was phenomenal. If you go to Galway you have to see St. Nicholas Cathedral in addition to St. Nicholas Church also in Galway. What a tribute to God!
After having seen so many churches/cathedrals/basilicas in europe (Spain, France, Vatican, Rome) as well as Americas I never thought that I would be surprised by another cathedral. The Galway cathedral was simple, elegant and very different. I am glad I got a chance to see it.
It was wonderful to visit this Cathedral after a 40 year absence from this city. It's stunning stained glass windows are inspirational and the atmosphere is conducive to reflection. Worth a visit every time one is in the city.
Such an impressive cathedral, and perhaps moreso knowing it was built only "recently" having been dedicated in 1965 by Cardinal Cushing from Boston. Beautiful details, including a mosaic featuring JFK. Interesting film of the history of it shown in a side chapel.
This cathedral was amazing. I saw it during a walking tour of the city and wanted to leave the tour early just to sit at the cathedral and pray. The stain glass is different then most other big cathedrals and was a breathe of fresh air after seeing many cathedrals throughout Ireland. One of the best things about Galway.
The Cathedral is located just off the Quay in the center of the City. it is amazing that this beautiful new church was built in the 20th Century in this old city but in such a traditional way. It is truly beautiful inside and worth the effort to visit - no matter what your religion.
Beautiful historical building. Amazing architecture and you can just feel the history and culture in this amazing place.
A beautiful and serene place amid all the hub bub. As this is virtually in the centre of Galway city you would expect it to be crowded and loud, it is the opposite. Lovely place to spend a while.
