This is something to behold! The black stone construction truly makes the building unique. The relative new build also means that it looks impressively immaculate. The central space is bigger than most that I've seen.

Wonderful stained glass throughout this beautiful “new” cathedral! Really enjoyed the variety of stained glass styles - never seen such variety within a single building. It was fun figuring out the biblical stories represented by each window!

Opened in 1965, this is Europe's newest stone cathedral. They do ask for a donation to enter. The interior is quite beautiful and unusual, especially the wooden ceiling which is quite different from other cathedrals in Europe. You can spend quite a bit of time simply exploring this unique cathedral. It's an easy walk from the Old Town/Latin Quarter parts of Galway.

The acoustics are amazing and the cathedral itself is a work of art. The problem is the parking to see it as it is extremely expensive and also very limited. It is well worth a visit however. you won't need more than about 30 mins unless you want to attend a Mass

The architecture and beauty of this cathedral is simply heavenly. Spend some time sitting quietly in a pew and absorb the atmosphere. There are many features that are highlights. I would like to mention the picture of Mary and Jesus painted by Adam Pomeroy. I found this picture profound and very moving.
