St.. Anne's Church

Cork's prime landmark, also known as Shandon Church, is famous for its giant pepper-pot steeple and its eight melodious bells. No matter where you stand in the downtown area, you can see the stone tower, crowned with a gilt ball and a unique fish weather vane. Until recently, due to a quirk of clockworks, it was known as "the four-faced liar" because each of its four clock faces showed a different time, except on the hour, when they all managed to synchronize. Somewhat sadly, that charming quirk has been fixed. Built in 1722, the steeple has red sandstone (south) and limestone (west) walls, from which the colors of the Cork hurling and soccer teams are taken. A climb to the belfry rewards with the chance to play a tune on the famous Shandon Bells. Consequently, you might hear the bells of Shandon ringing at all times of the day. Continue on a sometimes-precarious climb up past the bells and you'll be further rewarded with spectacular views over the surrounding countryside.
