Lonely Planet review for St Canice’s Cathedral

St Canice’s Cathedral is Ireland’s second-largest medieval cathedral (after St Patrick’s in Dublin). This Gothic edifice with its iconic round tower has had a long and fascinating history. Legend has it that the first monastery was built here in the 6th century by St Canice, Kilkenny’s patron saint. Records show that a wooden church on the site was burned down in 1087.
