St Canice's Cathedral, built in 1285, is Ireland's second largest medieval church. Black Abbey is also fascinating: founded in 1225, it is the last remaining gateway to the medieval city.Jerpoint Abbey, located in nearby Thomastown, is the finest Cistercian monastic ruins in Ireland and well worth the visit.
