Review & FAQ:
The National Monument is one of the most impressive stone carvings you’ll come across during your vacation in Cork. It was unveiled in 1906 and the early Irish Gothic style monument really stands out from its surroundings near the River Lee. The monument commemorates the several rebellions that had taken place over the years prior. In its center is a statue of Mother Erin, while other figures around it include Peter O’Neill Crowley, Theobald Wolfe Tone, Thomas Davis, and Michael Dwyer - who was a member of the United Irishmen. You’ll also see an engraved list of the names of all those who have died during the rebellions.
