CORK
Cork City Gaol is in a magnificent
castle-like building, which once
housed 19th-century prisoners.
Wander through the wings of the gaol,
accompanied by the shuffling feet of
inmates and the jingle of the warders’
keys. The cells are furnished with life-like
wax figures, and graffiti on the cell walls
reveals the feelings of some inmates.
The audio-visual show will help you learn
about the social history and contrasting
lifestyles of 19th-century Cork. There’s
also the Radio Museum, an ode to the
Broadcasting Station which was once
located in the Gaol, housing a small
collection of radios and exhibits on
communication.

restored 16th-century stone building

floors, beamed ceilings and exposed
brickwork, a marble bathroom with a
spacious rain shower and complimentary
toiletries, and a kitchenette. All rooms
come with a large flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi
and air-conditioning. All the main sites are
within a 10-minute walk, Banje; the town
beach, is only five minutes’ walk away
