Belfast Peace Wall Murals

Highlight • Historical Site

Even today, one of the main arenas of conflict between pro-Irish Republicans and pro-British Unionists is separated by a Peace Wall. A Peace Wall (or Peace Line) is a barrier designed to contain riots by separating camps. The most famous Peace Wall still stands today. It still separates the former trouble spot around the Catholic Falls Road and the Protestant Shankill Road.
