Belfast
21.06.2020
Capital and largest City in Northern Ireland. Belfast saw some worst of the Troubles, the civil conflict between the Roman Catholics and the Protestant population. The past and present religious and political divisions can still be seen on the murals. They are a fascination part of Northern Ireland. I got to Belfast by train. It was quite a surprise when I got out and immediately saw all the fine signs. “No smoking in the bathroom fine xxxx £”. I also had quite a few problems with the accent at first.
As I had limited time in Belfast, I might not have seen all sights, but I will show you the ones I saw (and made photos of). Unfortunately the murals didn’t turn out too great, but here you go:
Albert Memorial Clock at Queen’s Square
The Grand Opera House
Belfast Castle
Belfast City Hall
Parliament Building
Belfast Cathedral (also called St. Anne’s Cathedral)
Presbyterian Church in Ireland
The Parish Church of Saint George
The Crown Liquour Saloon is one of the best known pubs in Northern Ireland
Beacon of Hope (Art)
