St. Columb's Cathedral
|
|
| The cathedral was built in 1633. Stained glass depicts heroic scenes
from
the great siege of 1688-89. The keys of the gates, which were closed
against the Jacobites, are displayed in the Chapterhouse. The 17th century Church of
Ireland, St. Columb's was the first post-Reformation cathedral built in
the islands. Traditionally, its foundation stone incorporates a stone
from Tempull Mor. Both Long Tower and St. Columb's Cathedral have
stained-glass windows depicting the life of the saint. Main Page |
