area of the city is the famous Shandon Steeple, the bell-tower of St
Anne’s Church, built on the site of a church destroyed when the city
was besieged by Duke of Marlborough. Back across the River Lee lies
the city’s cathedral, an imposing 19
th
century building in the French
Gothic style. Cork has two markets. Neither caters specifically for
tourists but those who enjoy the atmosphere of a real working market
will appreciate their charm. The Crawford Art Gallery is well worth a
visit. It regularly mounts adventurous exhibitions by contemporary artists.

There are other residential areas on the outskirts.
