Turner's Cross (Irish: Crois Turnéir) is a ward on the south side of Cork City, and home to the Roman Catholic parish of the same name.
Largely residential, one of the key features of the area is the iconic church created by architect Barry Byrne and sculptor John Storrs, the Church of Christ The King.
Opened in 1931, the church is based on the principles of Art Deco which makes strong use of symmetric and geometric forms.
Turners Cross is also home to Cork City F.C. at the Turners Cross Stadium
