St John the Baptist Cathedral

Cathedral of St Mary the Virgin and St John the Baptist

This was the Church of Ireland (Anglican) parish church from the 1730s. The diocese was based in Elphin in Roscommon until 1961, but that building was far from its congregation and was damaged by storms in 1957, so the Sligo church became the cathedral.
