ATTRACTIONS:

Walking Tour of Carlow Town

3 Carlow Cathedral - located immediately beside St. Patrick's College. The Cathedral, started in 1828 and completed in 1833, at a cost of £9,000.00, was the brainchild of the energetic Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, James Doyle - J.K.L., the prominent champion of Catholic emancipation. The design of the Cathedral is attributed largely to Thomas Cobden, who drew his inspiration for the Carlow building from European models, particularly the Beftroi tower in Bruges, Belgium.
