Sligo Abbey is the traditional name for the ruins of the Dominican abbey situated on Abbey Street in Sligo town, County Sligo.
The correct name is the Convent of the Holy Cross. The convent was founded in 1252 by Maurice Fitzgerald. In 1253, the monastery was erected, and the cemetery was consecrated onsite. The convent was in use until about 1760, and a new friary was built in High Street in 1785. The burial ground on the old site was in use until 1895.
The site is now managed by the Sligo Office of Public Works and is open seasonally with guided tours available.
