The Church of St. Anne Shandon is one of Ireland's most famous Christian landmarks. Since the 6th century there has been a Christian witness in this place. The name Shandon comes from the Irish, Sean Dún, and means Old Fort. It is built with two types of stone, red sandstone from the original Shandon Castle, which stood nearby, and limestone taken from the derelict Franciscan Abbey, which stood on the North Mall. As you approach Shandon, from all directions, you will see both coloured stone of red/white and such is the affection that Shandon holds in the hearts of the citizens of Cork that they designated both colours to represent the City.
