Spike Island, in Cork Harbour, has been dubbed ‘Ireland’s Alcatraz’ due to its use as a prison through the centuries. The island’s varied history also includes roles as a monastery, fortress, and home to a 24-acre star-shaped fort. Today, visitors can explore the island’s museum, take guided tours of the fort, and learn about its rich history from monastic site to military base and prison.
