The Church of St Anne, Shandon, located in Cork, Ireland, is a historic and iconic landmark renowned for its distinctive clock tower and the famous Shandon Bells. Built in 1722, the church is perched on a hill offering panoramic views of Cork city. Its unique architecture features red sandstone from the original Shandon Castle and white limestone from Little Island. Visitors can climb the tower to ring the bells, an experience cherished by both locals and tourists. The clock, affectionately known as the "Four-Faced Liar," is so called because its four faces often show slightly different times.
