Montenotte is an area in the northeast ofCork City, Ireland, which was home to merchants and a prosperous middle class from the early to mid-19th century.[1] It was named after the late 18th century Napoleonic battle, theBattle of Montenotte, which took place in Northern Italy.[2] The suburb comprises two electoral districts (Montenotte A and Montenotte B) within theDáil constituency ofCork North-Central.[3] As of 2002[update], the populations of theseelectoral districts were 1,853 and 2,723 respectively.[4]
Montenotte is situated on a hill facing south over theRiver Lee adjacent to the St Luke's area (nearSt Luke's church). Originally home to several substantial residences, some of these large homes were later converted for institutional or commercial uses.[citation needed]
The river-facing area of Montenotte has significant mature tree coverage.[citation needed] During the 20th century, lands were sold for private housing development, and the tree-covered hillside is dotted with low-density modern housing overlooking the River Lee.[citation needed]
Local businesses include theMontenotte Hotel.
