The ancient 14th century monastery, founded by the O'Briens, exudes a special atmosphere that is best explored on foot. The details of the 15th and 16th century sculptures carved in limestone are impressive and give an insight into the craftsmanship of times gone by. Time seems to stand still here as you walk between the ruins and see the tower rising into the sky. The green surroundings around the monastery create a beautiful contrast to the grey stone walls and invite you to linger for a moment away from the streets before moving on to the next stage.

The imposing cathedral, which celebrated its first mass in 1842, tells a story of slow construction progress and challenges that continued into the late 19th century. The grey stone walls and the high tower exude a calm that invites you to pause for a moment. In front of the entrance stands the sculpture "Healing Hands" by Shane Gilmore. The words from the book of Isaiah on the palm enhance the atmosphere of this place and create a connection between past and present.
