Cork's superb castle, a historic site transformed into an astronomy observation center with planetarium.
Superb 16th century castle, located less than 2 km east of the centre, built to protect Cork from possible pirate attacks. Now used as an astronomy observation centre, the castle is open to the general public and is well worth a visit, and will appeal to history and star lovers alike! Guided tours take you into the heart of the monument, from which you have a magnificent view of the port, and its planetarium with telescopes to observe the sky.

Une superbe visite dans ce petit observatoire à l'extérieur de Cork. Des animations vidéos permettent d'en apprendre plus sur l'espace en général. Le guide était passionné et ses explications dans la tente-planetarium étaient très sympas. La vue sur le fleuve du haut de la tour vaut le coup d'oeil.
