I Go To Cong Abbey In Ireland


Cong Abbey is a ruined medieval abbey where the last High King of Ireland, spent his last years.
It also is the origin of a piece of Celtic art in the form of a metal cross shrine called the Cross of Cong.
The 'Cross of Cong' is now held in the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin.




The most striking feature of the 42.6 metre long great church is the three lancet east windows shown in the image above and the tombstone paved floor.
