Explore the historic city of Cork in this fully illustrated A-Z guide to its history, people and places.
Cork is often described as Irelands southern capital. The citys history goes back to a monastic then Viking settlement in the early mediaeval period to become Irelands second largest city. During the War of Independence in the early twentieth century the city was often at the forefront of fighting, the city center being burnt down by British forces, and was again the focus of fighting during the ensuing Irish Civil War. The city has always been open to the world, as an Atlantic port, and today the city is a vibrant cultural, industrial and economic center for southwest Ireland, where the past is in evidence while the city looks forward. Corkonians draw on rich heritage through the citys history, from sports, maritime traditions, commerce and education to festivals, literature, art, music and the rich Cork accent.
A-Z of Cork reveals the history behind Cork, its streets and buildings, businesses and the people connected with the city. Alongside the famous historical connections, are unusual characters, tucked away places and unique events that are less well-known. It is fully illustrated with photography and will appeal to all those with an interest in this historic city.
