The church of the elections has tested patience, faith and pride across centuries, forcing every visitor to decide whether they come to observe or to belong.

St. Patrick's Cathedral in Corporation is a multiperiod church site and graveyard, originally featuring a round tower, bivallate enclosure, and library, and is historically known as the Church of the Elections. While primarily a medieval ecclesiastical site, it is not a fairy fort, though local traditions may associate it with early Christian and possibly pre-Christian sacred traditions.
