Ireland's largest medieval cathedral, founded in the late 12th century beside the well where Saint Patrick is said to have baptised converts. The cathedral has deep ties to Jonathan Swift, author of 'Gulliver's Travels', who served as dean for over thirty years and is buried here. Interior highlights include medieval knight stalls in the choir, vibrant Victorian stained glass, and the historic Door of Reconciliation.
