St. Anne's Cathedral

Fodor's Review:

A somber heaviness -- a hallmark of the Irish neo-Romanesque style -- marks this large edifice, which is basilican in plan and was built at the turn of the 20th century. Lord Carson (1854-1935), who was largely responsible for keeping the six counties inside the United Kingdom, is buried here beneath a suitably austere gray slab. New landscaping around the Anglican cathedral provides a perch to rest your feet in good weather. The guides on duty show you around for no charge.
