The Cathedral was built between 1958 and 1965 on the site of the former Galway Jail. The architect was John J. Robinson, and the builders were John Sisk & Son of Dublin. The style is Renaissance, with strong Spanish influence, reflecting Galway’s historic ties with Spain. The building cost almost £1 million. Cardinal Richard Cushing of Boston dedicated it on 15 August 1965. The Cathedral contains sculpture and stained glass by artists including Imogen Stuart, Patrick Pollen, and George Campbell. It was the last major stone cathedral built in Ireland.
