Will medieval city end up in the dungeon?

THE South Gate is the gateway to the medieval city of Cork. The present bridge was built as early as 1713.

Now the historic site on the City Car park is due to be redeveloped. This is the site of the old South Gate Castle and the County Gaol Dungeon that was built in limestone and spanned, in a highly dramatic fashion, the South Main Street.

The 1994 EU-aided historic action plan stated that an opportunity existed at the North and South Gate bridges to recreate the historic gateways.
