It's the main Waterford Museum and the one that's not to be missed. A rich place loaded with history. If we find interesting parts of the Viking period, the most remarkable collection of objects remains medieval times, at a time when the city, having grown markedly commercially, became the second largest trading port in Ireland, after Dublin. There are many domestic objects showing this activity, and their diverse geographical origin indicates the multiple connections of this port with other countries.

On two floors, there are models of old cars of the largest brands: Jaguar, Renault, Mercedes, etc. For fans.

Next to St John's Castle, this small museum presents a collection of objects related to the history of the city and the region.

This includes preparatory outlines of reasons and lace samples. Some archeological pieces are also visible, dating from the bronze age.

Without doubt, it is a small wonder; considered the oldest Romanesque church in Ireland still standing (1127-1134), built by Cormac maccarthy, prince bishop of Cashel. The chapel of the chapel is populated with heads and mouth of animals, in a style extremely close to that of Dysert O 'Dea Castle, in the county of Clare (the same artists have worked there?).

The frescoes over 800 years old in the choir, the oldest of its kind in Ireland, are the subject of careful restoration work. You will certainly distinguish some remains of colors, very expensive at the time, including the clear blue that comes from Venice. The pillars are composed of geometrical patterns entirely typical of the Irish Romanesque and without a really apparent order: lodges, stars, broken lines… Facing the choir, a magnificent sculpted tomb may be the tomb of Cormac himself. Take a closer look: delicate ornaments representing interlaced animals and snakes would be Viking style.
