Belfast Falls Road

Belfast’s Falls Road, located in a predominantly Catholic nationalist neighborhood, was a significant and violent flashpoint during the Northern Irish conflict. Bordering the mostly Protestant unionist area of Shankill Road, this historic street is now marked by a peace wall that separates the two communities. The wall is a striking feature, adorned with hundreds of colorful, politically themed murals that reflect the area’s complex history and ongoing journey towards reconciliation. Visitors can walk along the road, observing the vivid artwork and gaining insight into the city’s past and present.
