One of the largest and most impressive buildings in the city, it's open until 6:30pm each day to view.
Although this cathedral only dates from 1965 it has already become one of the must see places in Galway. Be sure to photograph it from every vantage point across the river. Inside has an air of calm from the hustle and bustle of Shop street.
