Real is the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Anne, principle church of the diocese of Cork and Ross. Built between 1799 and 1806, it is one of the earliest examples of Neo-Gothic Revivalist architecture in Ireland, although its interior has unfortunately been renovated numerous times. More information is available on their website: corkcathedral.ie

The cathedral is free to visit, although it is an active site of worship so non-practitioners should take care not to sight-see during Mass.
There is a Visitors Centre:
Monday to Thursday 8.30-4.30
Friday 8.30-3.30pm

Mass:
Monday - Saturday: 10.00am
Saturday Vigil: 6.00pm
Sunday: 11.30am & 5.30pm

Designed in early Neo-Gothic Revivalist style, the building combines sandstone with limestone dressings. The tower over the main door was added in 1869, designed by John Benson.[7]

The original altar was fashioned in wood by Italian craftsmen in Lisbon.[2] In 1821, John Hogan carved twenty-seven statues in wood for the reredos behind the high altar.[12]

The bells were cast in 1870 by John Murphy of Dublin, and were originally hung for change-ringing, however they are now considered 'unringable'.[13]

The modern sanctuary of 1996 was designed by architect Richard Hurley, and is finished in white limestone.[14]
