Stop At: 139 Falls Road, Belfast BT12 6AF Northern Ireland

Belfast neighbourhoods. The most interesting aspect of Belfast is the complicated and fascinating history of The Troubles (1968-2005), which saw neighbouring communities of Nationalists (Irish) and Loyalists (British) face off against each other in near-daily skirmishes. The resolution of this conflict has proven an incredible achievement of diplomacy, patience, tolerance and maturity by the Nobel Peace Prize-winning politicians and the societies themselves.
Creative murals provide insights into the inspirations and sentiments of both communities, past and present.
