St Nicholas Church

Holy Trinity Church, also known as Father Mathew Memorial Church, is a Roman Catholic church belonging to the Capuchin Friars Minor order. The church was built in the Regency Gothic style between 1832 and 1890. This long period was due to the great famine (1845-1852). Theobald Mathew, from whom the name of the church is derived, arrived in Cork in 1814 and worked hard to improve the conditions of the city's poor and initiated the present church. However, Father Matthew never saw the building completed as he died in 1856.

St. Finbarr's Cathedral is an Irish Anglican cathedral built between 1865 and 1879. The three spires of the cathedral are one of the symbols of Cork. It is named after St. Finbarr, the patron saint of the city. The present cathedral is at least the third on this site: a medieval cathedral existed but was damaged during the Siege of Cork in 1689-1690, and a small neoclassical cathedral was built on the site by Bishop Peter Browne in 1735. It was demolished in 1865 to make way for the present cathedral.

St. Francis Church is a Franciscan church opened and consecrated in 1953 after the old 19th-century church was considered unsafe. The new church was designed by the architects A. E. Jones in the Byzantine style. The construction of the new church was soon followed by the construction of the new convent.
