Statio Bene Fide Carinis – A safe Harbour for ships
Cork city is the second city of Ireland and is the 2005 European Capital of Culture. It is located on an island in the estuary of the river Lee. The name in Gaelic, Corcaigh", means marsh or swamp.
The port of Cork is the largest natural harbour in Ireland. The port has always been the centre of activity in Cork and to this day you can find evidence of the ancient port network. Some of the main streets were once waterways for cargo ships.
St. Finbar is the patron saint of Cork. His foundation of a monastery in the 600's AD was the begining of settlement in Cork. The cathedral dedicated to him now stands on the site of his religious community. Since then Cork has grown from a busltling merchant city into a vibrant and cosmopolitan 21st century centre.
Walking around the city centre you will find the modern and the old architecture sitting comfortably side by side.
With excellent national and international transport links, Cork is the main gateway to the scenic west of Ireland.
