Build by Maurice Fitzgerald for the Dominicans in 1252 and was accidently burned down in 1414 when a candle left carelessly in the building set it on fire. Legend says that worshippers saved the Abbey’s silver bell, which was thrown into Lough Gill and only those free of sin can here it peal. The site contains a great wealth of carvings including Gothic and Renaissance tomb sculpture, well preserved cloisters and the only sculptured 15th century high altar to survive in any Irish monastic church.

The Cat and The Moon is located on Castle Street in the centre of Sligo Town.
