Although this cathedral only dates from 1965 it has already become one of the must see places in Galway. Be sure to photograph it from every vantage point across the river. Inside has an air of calm from the hustle and bustle of Shop street.

The Cathedral of Our Lady Assumed into Heaven and St Nicholas (Irish language: Ard-Eaglais Mhaighdean na Deastógála agus Naomh Nioclás), commonly known as Galway Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Galway City, and one of its largest and most impressive buildings.. Construction began in 1958 on the site of the old city Gaol. It was completed in 1965, making it the last great stone cathedral to be built in Europe. It was dedicated, jointly, to Our Lady Assumed into Heaven and to St. Nicholas. The architect of the cathedral was John J. Robinson, who had previously designed many churches in Dublin and around the country. The architecture of the cathedral draws on many influences. The dome and pillars reflect a Renaissance style. Other features, including the rose windows and mosaics, echo the broad tradition of Christian art. The cathedral dome, at a height of 44.2 metres (145 ft), is a prominent landmark on the city skyline.
