Built in 1722, the Church of St. Anne is one of the most important early-18th century churches in Ireland. Standing 50 metres high above the surrounding Shandon neighbourhood, visitors can climb the narrow stone steps to the bell tower, topped by a 3-metre gold fish weathervane. The bell tower offers spectacular views of the city and surrounding areas spread below.
There are 135 steps in total to reach the viewing balcony. Along the way you get to ring bells and see some interesting features, like the mechanism of one of the largest caged clocks in Europe. You also get to climb through a belfry, where the 6 tonnes of bells ring out, on your way to a spectacular view of Cork City.
