St Anne’s Church in Cork

St Anne’s Church Built in 1722 on a hill above the city, this church has a spectacular bell tower and distinctive Italianate architecture. It is said that a true Cork citizen must be born within the sound of Shandon Bells from St Anne’s Church. Visitors can scale the stairs inside the steeple walls to a parapet that has 360-degree views of the city. Moreover, it is possible to play the church’s eight bells with the assistance of sheet tune cards. Its clock tower is known as ‘the four-faced liar’ because each face shows a different time when high winds interfere with the wooden clock hands.
