About Cork

Cork is the principal city of County Cork in southwest Ireland. Known as "the Rebel City" the "real capital of Ireland", Cork has a strong independence and Corkonians are proud of its role in Irish history. This historic merchant port has a lot of Georgian architecture and lively arts, music and food scenes. It was already the second-largest city in Ireland when in 2019 its boundaries were extended, to have a population of 210,000.
