Used as an island prison, fortress, monastery and even a home, today visitors can meet captains, convicts, sinners and saints while uncovering 1,300 years of Irish history at Spike Island. From monks to the military, to idolised rebels, visitors can only access the island by boat from Cobh. The island itself has restricted opening hours and advance booking is recommended. https://www.spikeislandcork.ie/
