looking into Temple na hOe from the back wall of the cathedral

Nearby are two other churches. The smaller one, Temple na hOe, is a lovely 12th century Romanesque church with an enormous doorway. THe larger of the two is a much plainer 15th century, the Temple na Griffin. As usual, immense scaffolding covers the walls of Temple na Griffin as they rebuild the front facade and stabilize the walls.
