The clock tower of St Anne's church containing the Bells of Shandon

Shandon (IrishAn Seandún meaning "the old fort") is a district on the north-side of Cork city. Shandon lies north of the River Lee and North Gate Bridge, the northernmost point of the medieval city. Several landmarks of Cork's north-side are located in the area, including the bell tower of the Church of St Anne, the Cathedral of St Mary and St Anne, Saint Mary’s Dominican Church & Priory, and Firkin Crane Arts Centre.

Shandon is referred to in the song "The Bells of Shandon", which was written by Francis Sylvester Mahony under the pen name of "Father Prout".[1] Shandon Street is a principal street in the area, and was originally called Mallow Lane.[2][3] Shandon is part of the Dáil constituency of Cork North-Central.

History[edit]

Church and steeple of St. Anne's Shandon

Shandon was one of a number of settlements in and around ancient Cork, and takes its name from an old fort (sean dún) in the area.[4] A medieval church dedicated to St. Mary was built close to the site of the fort, and referred to in 12th century texts as 'St. Mary of the Mountain'.[4] A later castle, built on or close to the site of the more ancient fort, became the official residence of the President of Munster from the 16th century.[4] This castle (Shandon Castle) and the original church of St. Mary (St. Mary of the Mountain) were both destroyed during the Siege of Cork in the late 17th century.[2]

The eponymous Shandon Street, originally known as Mallow Lane,[2][3] was established by the Anglo-Normans as a way to give access to North Gate drawbridge.[citation needed]

Events[edit]

Shandon Street Festival is an annual event which takes place during the summer.[5][6]
