Blackrock Castle
In the late 16th century, the citizens of Cork appealed to Queen Elizabeth I to construct a fort at Blackrock to "repel pirates and other invaders". In or around 1600, a round tower was constructed to safeguard against pirates "carrying away" vessels entering the harbour.
Blackrock Castle houses Ireland's first fully interactive astronomy center developed by the award-winning multimedia company Martello Media. The exhibition is now open to the public and is themed "The Search for Extreme Life in the Universe".

St. James Cavalier Center for Creativity
Housed in a 16th Century fort, the centre is home to a
small theatre-in-the-round, an art house, cinema, a chamber music room and gallerias.
A labyrinth of art gallerias and multimedia installations stretching into the ancient walls and towers of the fort, carefully placed in a unique architecture.
The centre has welcomed
both local and foreign artists, writers, singers and actors, dancers,
musicians as well as thinkers, scientists and other creators.Few examples of the original interior design are shown below.
