Deck of Cards Houses

The Deck of Cards Houses are one of the most photographed sights in Cobh, County Cork, Ireland. These brightly painted terraced houses are arranged on a steep hill overlooking the harbour, creating a view that resembles a stacked deck of playing cards. They have become a symbol of the town’s character and charm. Walking through this area allows visitors to experience a quiet residential side of Cobh while enjoying beautiful harbour views. The houses are private homes, so visitors are encouraged to explore respectfully while taking photographs from public paths.
