St Columba’s Long Tower has been a living place of worship since the earliest of times. Here in the shadow of the city’s oldest structure, the base of the medieval ‘long’ round tower – you’ll discover one of the most ornate churches in Ireland, and the hidden gem of the oakwood city.
Don’t miss the Words on the Wing exhibition Prince-Warrior-Scribe and Saint: The Birth of the Book which explores 1,500 years of scholarship and writing from St Cholm Cille to Seamus Heaney.
Please note access to the church can be limited during Mass and funerals.
