Public art in Belfast

Belfast Murals

The political murals of Belfast cover the gable walls of houses in the Falls Road (Republican/Nationalist) and Shankill Road (Loyalist/Unionist) neighborhoods, documenting the Troubles through painted propaganda, memorials, and political statements. Free to see. The Peace Walls separating the two communities are still standing. Budget travelers walk both neighborhoods (safe during the day), see murals on both sides, and understand the conflict through its street art. Free walking tours of the murals are available.
