Galway Cathedral was built from 1958-1965 on the site of the old city prison. It is dedicated to both Our Lady Assumed into Heaven and St Nicholas. One of the most iconic and impressive buildings in the city, it was one of the last great stone cathedrals to be built in Europe.

The Salmon Weir can be seen to the right of the Cathedral as well as the River Corrib with Lough Corrib in the background.
