Kerry church ranks with Eiffel Tower as one of the 'coolest constructions' on the planet

An old Irish church has been named alongside the Eiffel Tower and the Sydney’s Opera House as some of the coolest constructions on the planet.

The famously watertight Gallarus Oratory on the Dingle Peninsula is listed beside the world’s greatest feats of architecture in a new book called Amazing Architecture: A Spotter’s Guide.

The stone church, which is thought could date to somewhere between the 7th and 15th century, is completely made of stone and resembles an upturned boat.
