Cần Quan Tâm
Shankill Road
On the Shankill Road, visitors will see striking Loyalist murals, often depicting British heritage and commemorating figures from the Troubles. Memorials honour the lives lost during the conflict, offering insight into the area's complex past. The road is proudly home to a British, Unionist, Protestant community, with Union Flags and other symbols displayed throughout.
Peace Wall
The Peace Wall between the Shankill and Falls Roads was built to separate Protestant Unionist and Catholic Nationalist communities during the Troubles. It remains a stark symbol of division, with gates that still close at night. Today, it’s covered in murals and messages of both conflict and hope, attracting thousands of visitors each year.
