HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Kilkenny Medieval Mile & St Canice's Cathedral.
The Kilkenny Medieval Mile centers on St Canice's Cathedral, a substantially intact medieval church with its round tower standing separately alongside it, along with surviving sections of the medieval town including the Black Abbey and other stone buildings along the route, though much of the wider streetscape reflects later rebuilding. The cathedral is administered by the Church of Ireland, while the medieval mile trail and associated buildings are supported by Kilkenny local authorities and heritage bodies. The cathedral and round tower are open to visitors on a ticketed basis, and the wider medieval mile is freely accessible as a walking route through the town.
