St Canice's Cathedral and Round Tower is a historic landmark located in the charming city of Kilkenny, Ireland. The cathedral is a stunning example of Gothic architecture, with its soaring spires and intricate stonework. It was built in the 13th century and has been a place of worship for over 800 years. The interior of the cathedral is equally impressive, with beautiful stained glass windows, ornate carvings, and a magnificent organ.

Adjacent to the cathedral is the Round Tower, which dates back to the 9th century. The tower stands at an impressive 100 feet tall and is one of only two round towers in Ireland that visitors can climb. The climb to the top is not for the faint of heart, but the views from the top are well worth the effort. From the top of the tower, visitors can see the entire city of Kilkenny and the surrounding countryside.

The cathedral and tower are surrounded by a peaceful graveyard, which is the final resting place of many notable figures from Kilkenny's history. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll through the graveyard and admire the beautiful headstones and monuments.

Overall, St Canice's Cathedral and Round Tower is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Kilkenny. The combination of stunning architecture, rich history, and breathtaking views make it a truly unforgettable experience.
