The Arch Building is a distinctive stone archway located on Cobh's waterfront, forming part of the town's Victorian seafront promenade. Built in the 19th century, it originally served as a gateway to the pier and is now a beloved landmark. The arch is constructed from local stone and features a classical design with a keystone. It stands as a reminder of Cobh's maritime history, when the town was a major port for emigrants and transatlantic liners. Visitors can walk through the arch and enjoy views of the harbour, with the nearby St. Colman's Cathedral providing a dramatic backdrop. The area is popular for photography and leisurely strolls.
