I am not religious but I can appreciate the the beauty, history, architecture and spirituality of churches and cathedrals. However this large cathedral whichr completely dominates the galway skyline, is dark, austere and oppressive, and left me with a cold depressing feeling. Perhaps this was the intention of the church in 1960's Ireland.

Very impressive in size, but it was not the most beautiful. Park in the church parking lot, mut cheaper that the one behing the cathedral.

Very peaceful with very nice interior. An excellent place to visit & to start a walking tour of Galway

Worth the walk! The marble flooring is gorgeous. Do a little research about this church before you visit. It can seat up to 5000 people! A must see in Galaway.

Beautiful stretch of coastline and a super walking area. Well maintained and clean. The locals walk along here at all hours and it certainly is a nice place for a leg stretch and some fresh air.

We were in awe as soon as we walked in. The architecture and bigger- than- life statues and artwork was phenomenal. If you go to Galway you have to see St. Nicholas Cathedral in addition to St. Nicholas Church also in Galway. What a tribute to God!

After having seen so many churches/cathedrals/basilicas in europe (Spain, France, Vatican, Rome) as well as Americas I never thought that I would be surprised by another cathedral. The Galway cathedral was simple, elegant and very different. I am glad I got a chance to see it.

It was wonderful to visit this Cathedral after a 40 year absence from this city. It's stunning stained glass windows are inspirational and the atmosphere is conducive to reflection. Worth a visit every time one is in the city.

Such an impressive cathedral, and perhaps moreso knowing it was built only "recently" having been dedicated in 1965 by Cardinal Cushing from Boston. Beautiful details, including a mosaic featuring JFK. Interesting film of the history of it shown in a side chapel.
