Province:

Cork(Irish: Corcaigh) is the second city of the Republic of Ireland. Also the principal city of County Cork, it is situated in the province of Munster, slightly inland from the southern coast proper. The River Lee flows through the city, with the main part of the city centre on an island just before the Lee flows into Lough Mahon and thence to Cork Harbour, one of the world's largest natural harbours. The city is a major Irish seaport - with quays and docks sited along the broad waterway of the Lee on the city's East.

Cork history

Cork is a historic city, with the city charter being granted over 800 years ago, in 1172. Cork has its beginnings in a much earlier monastic settlement, founded by St. Finbar. Over the centuries, much of the city was rebuilt, time and again, after numerous fires and attacks by Vikings or Norsemen. The city was at one time fully walled, and several sections and gates remain. During the Irish Civil War, Cork was for a time held by republican forces.
