Cork is Ireland’s second-largest city, located near the southern coast along the River Lee. Originally founded as a monastic settlement in the 6th century, it later grew into a maritime hub thanks to its strategic riverfront location and proximity to the Atlantic. The city’s past weaves together Viking conquests, English colonization, and a fierce spirit of independence—each leaving its mark on the Cork visitors experience today.
