Montenotte is an area in the north-east of Cork City, Ireland, which had an influx of wealthier merchants and a prosperous middle class in the early to mid-19th century.[1] It was named after the late 18th century Napoleonic battle, the Battle of Montenotte, which took place in Northern Italy.[2]
Situated on a hill facing south over the River Lee, Montenotte acquired several substantial residences, some of them set in miniature estates with terraced gardens. Many of the larger houses now have institutional uses, or have been divided into apartments.[citation needed]
The suburb comprises two electoral districts (Montenotte A and Montenotte B) within the Dáil constituency of Cork North-Central.[3] As of 2002, the populations of these electoral districts were 1,853 and 2,723 respectively.[4]
