St. Peter's Cork is a free visitor and exhibition centre located in one of the city's oldest churches and in the medieval heart of Cork city. The history of St. Peter’s Church dates back to 1270 when King Henry III granted patronage of the church to the Bishop of Cork. St. Peter’s church was a prominent place of worship until it was deconsecrated in 1949.
Today, you can visit St. Peter's Cork and its free heritage and art exhibitions, showcasing Cork history and local artists work. The 'A City by the Sea' exhibition is the perfect way to discover Cork's rich maritime past and provides a colourful chronology of Cork City's history along with old photographs and maps for Cork through the years.
