Review & FAQ:
Red Abbey Tower is the only structure in all of Cork that has survived since medieval times. It was originally found in the 13th or 14th century as an Augustinian friary and was occupied by the friars until 1641. The tower then became the private property of Dean Boyle of Cork and was later used as an observation post during the siege of the city by a Wiliamite army. Red Abbey Tower is one of the most historic attractions you’ll come across in Cork; the national monument will be sure to amaze visitors of all ages.
