September 2015 - Galway Ireland
Construction began in 1958 on the site of the old city prison.
The Cathedral of Galway was dedicated on 15 August 1965, and as such is the youngest of Europe's great stone cathedrals. it is dedicated to Our Lady Assumed into Heaven and Saint Nicholas.
I noticed that you had to pay to use the toilets.
It is beautiful inside.

ReplyDeleteI don't mind paying for the toilets, if they're clean. Love the inside of this church. It's very sombre, but beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind either, it was just the only place I saw around Ireland charging for bathrooms.
DeleteI hope you had the correct change. :)
ReplyDeleteThe inside is lovely but the stone makes me feel chilly.
That is a rather modern cathedral
ReplyDeleteWonderful for the eyes, but I wonder how it is on the ears!
ReplyDeleteAmazing use of stone! It's so massive...
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at the stone inside but I really like it! Great place!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful modern stone building. But the purple light is a bit spooky. Is that the photograph or was there really purple light coming from somewhere?
