Places to see in ( Belfast - UK ) Peace Wall

The peace lines or peace walls are a series of separation barriers in Northern Ireland that separate Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods. Peace Wall have been built at urban interface areas in Belfast, Derry, Portadown and elsewhere. The stated purpose of the peace lines is to minimise inter-communal violence between Catholics (most of whom are nationalists who self-identify as Irish) and Protestants (most of whom are unionists who self-identify as British).

The peace lines ( Peace Wall ) range in length from a few hundred yards to over three miles (5 km). They may be made of iron, brick, and/or steel and are up to 25 feet (7.6 m) high. Some have gates in them (sometimes staffed by police) that allow passage during daylight but are closed at night.

The first peace lines were built in 1969, following the outbreak of the 1969 Northern Ireland riots and the Troubles. They were built as temporary structures meant to last only six months, but due to their effective nature they have become wider, longer and more permanent.

The most prominent peace lines in the past few years separate the nationalist Falls Road and unionist Shankill Road areas of West Belfast; the Catholic Short Strand from the Protestant Cluan Place areas of East Belfast, the Protestant Corcrain road and the Catholic Orbins drive in Portadown and the Protestant Fountain estate and Catholic Bishop Street area of Derry.

Northern Ireland's Troubles - Walls of Shame

The modern history of Northern Ireland has been dominated by one thing, 'The Troubles' - a violent, bitter conflict, both political and religious, between those claiming to represent the predominantly Catholic nationalists and those claiming to represent the mainly Protestant unionists.

But what Northern Ireland has now is not so much 'peace' as 'an absence of conflict' after the Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998. Far from disappearing, the walls have grown. Instead of reconciliation, there is partition - an ill-tempered stalemate of separate identities and separated lives.

Broadly speaking, the nationalists - also called 'Republicans' - want Northern Ireland to be unified with the Republic of Ireland while the unionists want it to remain part of the United Kingdom, along with England, Wales and Scotland.

This episode of the Walls of Shame series looks at life on both sides of the barriers between the warring communities.

Update: Al Jazeera returned to Belfast, almost a decade after this film first aired in 2007, to touch base with Catholic muralist Danny Devenny. As the walls of separation - or 'protection' as some view the barriers - start to come down, much of Danny and his muralist friends' work is also being destroyed, with calls to 'reimagine' their art.

The government has vowed to destroy the walls but the community is reluctant, scared and not appreciative of attempts to gloss over a difficult past.

The Wall (Belfast Short documentary)

’The Wall’ details the history of the Belfast peace line between the communities of the Falls and Shankill Roads. It is illustrated through the personal story of filmmaker, Seán Murray whose family charts its history from polarising sides of the divide.

PEACE WALL IN BELFAST - Beautiful Wall Murals in Belfast

The peace walls are a series barriers that were erected to separate Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods in Northern Ireland. They are located in areas in Belfast, Derry, Portadown and elsewhere. The purpose of the peace lines was to minimize the violent interactions between Catholics (most of whom are nationalists who self-identify as Irish) and Protestants (most of whom are unionists who self-identify as British).

The peace walls range in length from a few hundred yards to over three miles. They may be made of iron, brick, and/or steel and are up to 25 feet high. Some of the walls actually have gates allowing passage during daylight hours but they remain closed during the night.

History - The first peace walls were built in 1969, following the outbreak of the 1969 Northern Ireland riots and the Troubles. They were originally meant to stay up for only six months, but they were later increased in number and spread through several locations. In recent years, they have even become somewhat of a tourist attraction.

In 2008, the possibility of removing the walls was discussed and in 2011, Belfast City Council agreed to develop a strategy regarding the removal of the walls. Although, a study indicated that 69% of residents believed that the peace walls should not be removed due to the continuing possibility of violence, several initiatives led by local communities resulted in the opening of a number of interface structures for a trial period.

In January 2012, the International Fund for Ireland launched a Peace Walls funding programme in an effort to support local communities to begin working on tearing down the peace walls. In May 2013, the Northern Ireland Executive committed to the removal of all peace lines by mutual consent by 2023.

According to the Guardian, a secret report conducted by the Northern Irish government criticized the speed with which walls, gates and fences were being constructed in Belfast to separate Catholics and Protestants. The report claimed that the walls created an “atmosphere of abnormality” in the city.

Although the walls were constructed to bring a sense of “peace” and prevent any forms of violence between both communities on either side, however, violence has persisted in some areas even after the construction of a barrier. Interface violence is particularly widespread during the summer months, when the marching season and the summer holidays start.

Recently, Jonny Byrne, a lecturer in politics at the University of Ulster, likened the Peace Walls to the Berlin Wall by saying, “The Berlin Wall had to come down for Berlin to be normalised. We have normalised Belfast without taking down the walls.”

North Belfast witnessed some of the worst violence during The Troubles.
Some efforts to restore mobility between both sides of the fences has worked since 2011 a “peace gate” was installed in the iron fence of Alexandra Park.

“The difficulty in any peace wall conversation is that a lot of the initial conversations revolve around a sense of loss. What will I lose?’ asks Ian McLaughlin of the Lower Shankill Community Association. The answer to Belfast’s peace wall conundrum lies in regeneration, says McLaughlin. “Our core business at one time was peace-building, but now we have a dual approach – regenerating our community and building relations with our neighbours.”
In August 2016, Belfast tore down its first peace wall 18 years after the Good Friday Agreement that brokered a peace deal for the region. By 2023, all of Northern Ireland’s 48 peace walls will be demolished.
American President Barack Obama once addressed the issue to a crowd in Belfast, “There are walls that still stand, there are still many miles to go.” He added, “You have to remind us of hope again and again and again. Despite resistance, despite setbacks, despite hardship, despite tragedy, you have to remind us of the future again and again and again.”

Northern Ireland’s government says it wants to bring down every wall by 2023. But it seems that the process can only happen slowly and gradually in order to placate all parties involved.
Dr Byrne, a University of Ulster academic, co-wrote a 2012 report on people’s attitudes to the walls. His report revealed that a total of 69% living near a wall would fear for their safety if it were ever torn down, while 58% say they would worry about the police’s ability to contain any resulting violence. But 58% also say they would like to see them come down “at some point in the future”.
Different places have different fears, Dr Byrne says, “Community safety, fear of being attacked. But also fear of the unknown. People don’t like to change. People are comfortable with what they know…[In] each community, the approach is so different. In some communities, the walls mark where some families who lost loved ones (during The Troubles).

Belfast Peace Wall, Northern Ireland | 360 Degree Video

Belfast peace wall carries a history behind it and this history calls out for the travellers to come closer and dig deep to know more about the reason behind building it and dig deeper to know more stories related to this era. 4K 360 Video - change the wrench settings in bottom right of video for the 4k video experience - amazing -best 4k 360 we can do :-) Enjoy!!

Peace walls - or peace lines, as it is also referred to - are a series of separation barriers that separate predominantly Republican and Nationalist Catholic neighborhoods from predominantly Loyalist and Unionist Protestant neighborhoods. The reason behind the creation of these walls go back to minimizing the inter-communal violence between Catholics (most of those are nationalists who self identify as Irish) and Protestants (most of whom are unionists who self identify as British). (

Belfast Peace Walls are long, they range between few hundred yards to over three miles, and they are made of iron, brick and steel. This will differ according to the location you are standing at because these long walls are not only found in one place; the majority might be found in Belfast, but there are also those in Derry, Portadown and Lurgan. Some of these walls have gates in them that only allow the passage during daylight in order to avoid any problems that could occur - sometimes these gates are even stuffed with police.

These walls were actually temporary when they were first built back in 1969, following the outbreak of the 1969 Northern Ireland riots and The Troubles, but they only kept increasing in length and they were never removed until this very day, they are even now used by artists as walls on which they perform their drawings to make them all look more cheerful. In the early 1990's, these walls which were supposed to stay for 6 months only, were only 18 but they kept increasing in number and in size, they kept getting wider, longer and more permanent, until they almost reached 59 walls in 2017.

For the good history that these peace walls carry, they have even become touristic attractions for tourists coming to visit Belfast - since most of them are located in Belfast - in order for them to hear about their historical story and at the same time get the chance to see those art drawings which are now filling most of these walls. (

A lot of people still think that these walls or lines are going to be removed in the near future, but actually the discussion began in 2008 and in 2011 the study that was released pointed out that 69% of the residents still believe that these walls are actually important, and since then there were no plans for these walls to be removed and they are still placed until today.

We have had our tours to the Belfast peace walls before - we even got there to sign our names on one of them ( - and we should say that it is actually interesting to visit such a place and know more about the history it carries while at the same time checking the art drawings that are found there on the wall and which might be one of the main reasons why lots of tourists decide to visit it before they decide to leave Belfast, Northern Ireland.

These walls that reach six metres tall and which separate two sides from one another have those drawings on the walls which are harmonic but which are delivering messages of oppression or revenge at the same time.

Since Belfast is known to be the most famous when it comes to the peace walls, we should also shed the lights on the most famous streets where these walls are located. The most famous of these walls are the ones that divide between Falls and Shankill Roads in the western part of Belfast. On the Shankill Road side, Union Jack flags hang from houses and poles on the street and this is the side where the British flags are found everywhere.

The main reason behind what is known as The Troubles goes back to the fact that people didn't know back then whether to consider this part as a small part of the Republic of Ireland or else is part of the United Kingdom, and that is exactly the reason why at one side you will find the British flags and on the other you might find some Irish ones.

Nobody knows the future of peace walls and whether Irish people are against their existence or else with, but they will have to accept them and thus will only need to change them to something with a message, and that's exactly what art helps with.

We have been to Belfast peace walls several times and since we consider it now one of the touristic places that help people know more about the history of Belfast, we now deliver these videos as something that people will need in order to experience and to know what they are going to see if they eventually decided to go there once they are in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Peace Wall Belfast

Peace Wall in Belfast Northern Ireland - Belfast Tour

Are you ready to leave your print behind before leaving Belfast, Northern Ireland? To do so, you will not just write down your signature on the wall, but you will be also visiting the Peace Wall in Belfast which is one of the most visited art places in the city (

Even though walking by the Peace Wall in Belfast will mean walking by lots of murals and graffiti work that will catch your breath away and which might be the reason why lots of people come to check the wall in the first place, we still have to mention that this was not the main purpose of building this long wall; it was not built for drawings but it was built for separating two different groups of people from one another.

They are referred to as peace walls and not just wall because they are found in different other cities and not just Belfast - our trip this time was at Belfast only and that's why - which are Derry, Portadown, and Lurgan (

Going back in history, the main purpose behind building this peace wall was to act like separation barriers that will separate the predominantly Republican and Nationalist Catholic neighborhoods from the predominantly Loyalist and Unionist Protestant neighborhoods. This wall was actually to minimize the inter-communal violence between the Catholics who are mostly known to be Irish and the Protestants who are mostly known to be British, and that took us to the beginning of the journey of drawing on this long wall and giving people the chance to bring out their talents.

When you come to the point where you will start asking people on the internet or even those of your friends who have been to Northern Ireland before about the places you should visit while being in Belfast, one of the answers would be the peace wall and even though they might go for the main purpose of checking the murals there, you should also be willing to know more about the history of building that wall in the first place.

The majority of these walls are located in Belfast and that might be the reason why they always refer to it as the peace wall in Belfast. There are some doors in these walls that allow the entrance from one side to the other but they are not always open, they are usually open during the daylight and close once again during the night, and they sometimes have policemen standing and guarding on them.

This wall was actually built a long time ago, back in 1969, during the time of The Troubles and the outbreak of the Northern Ireland riots. The interesting thing is that this wall was actually built back at that time as a temporary thing, but since it managed to bring the right effects, it started to get longer, taller, wider, and more permanent and the six months' plan was then forgotten.

Those walls which were 18 back when the whole thing started have reached 59 in the end of 2017 and they stretch for over 120 miles with most of these walls being in Belfast. With the different murals which are now covering up these walls, there are taxis that tend to take tourists to the most famous ones and even point out some of the most important places when it comes to the history of this wall, like pointing out the trouble spots, and tourists tend to enjoy such a ride because they love watching those murals and sometimes listening to the stories behind them as well.

At some point in 2008 there was a discussion about how and when should these walls be removed and even though some people were looking forward to such a step in the history of Northern Ireland, there were lots of others who believed that these walls are still needed and still considered beneficial because they will ban any kind of violence that might take place and thus all these discussions and plans died with the passage of time and with those thoughts that the residents carried.

Since the peace wall is one of the most important locations in Northern Ireland tourism and one of the things to do in Belfast, Michelle decided to go there and sign her name on one of these walls among one of the murals which are drawn and which allow people to leave their names as remembrance of walking by this wall.

There are actually lots of beautiful places in Belfast, Northern Ireland, that we could include in the list of places to be visited in addition to walking by the peace wall and it might be about wandering the streets of the city in general ( choosing one of the bars or restaurants to enjoy a drink or a meal at ( or going a bit cultural and historic to visit those touristic locations that include the City Hall, museums, and other beneficial places.

This was a good experience to write down Michelle's name on the peace wall; looking forward to it?

Kilometres of graffiti-daubed concrete walls snake through Belfast. They divide Catholic neighbourhoods from Protestant. But do these Peace Walls keep the hatred and suspicion locked outside or inside?

The consensus among the locals is clear – if the walls came down there would be a return to intractable sectarian violence. ‘If you pull that wall down there'’ll be murder, mayhem, there’'ll be blood spilt’, says a loyalist resident. The recent killings of two soldiers, a policeman and a Catholic community worker, indicate that trouble is still very close to the surface. ‘There’'s walls of prejudice; walls that were built here 300 years ago and they're still here in legislation, in prejudice and bigotry, tells Republican Sean McVeigh. 'So those are the walls that are going to have to come down first.’

이건 또 무엇인가? 심상치 않게 생긴 높은 벽이 벨파스트 시내를 둘로 나누며 길게 늘어서 있다. 신·구교간의 갈등의 시대는 이미 끝났건만 그 장벽은 여전히 제거되지 못한 채 도시를 면도날처럼 나누고 있다. 이름만 평화의 벽으로 바뀌었을 뿐이다. “이 벽은 신, 구교 간의 갈등이 가장 극심할 때 지어졌죠. 양쪽 진영을 분리하기 위해서입니다.” “이스라엘과 팔레스타인 간의 관계를 보는 듯하군요.” “베를린 장벽에서 아이디어를 얻었다고 합니다.” 한 도시 안에 국경보다 더 높은 장벽이라니. 믿기지 않았다. 장벽 바로 너머에는 가톨릭교도들이 사는 폴즈 지구가 있다. 서로 다른 신도 아니고 같은 신을 믿으며 서로를 불신하고 증오하는 이율배반의 현장. 아일랜드와 영국, 신교와 구교 사이에서 머리가 잠시 혼란스럽다. 벽 사이로 난 철문이 유난히 을씨년스럽다. “저 철문은 밤10시가 되면 닫힙니다. 가장 마지막으로 닫히는 문이죠. 10시면 자동으로 문이 닫힙니다.” 나는 다시 한 번 걸어서 철문을 건너본다. 갈등의 골이 깊을수록 화합의 길도 그만큼 험한 것일까? 오늘 밤도 어김없이 10시만 되면 저 철문은 굳게 닫힐 것이다. 엎어지면 코 닿을 거리지만 서로간의 마음의 거리는 잔뜩 찌푸린 날씨만큼이나 멀기만 하다.

Two decades after peace pact, reconciliation still lags in Northern Ireland

Nearly 20 years ago this week, the Good Friday Agreement brought an end to almost three decades of violence between Catholic and Protestant factions in Northern Ireland, known as the ‘Troubles,’ that killed 3,500 people. But for many, it has been an uneasy peace. NewsHour Weekend Special Correspondent Kira Kay explores what the peace agreement achieved and what remains unsolved in the region.

Belfast reflects on 20 years since first IRA ceasefire

Northern Ireland will reflect on a long spell of relative peace this weekend, marking 20 years since the IRA announced it would cease all military operations.
Shortly after 11am on Wednesday 31 August 1994, the Irish Republican Army called a ceasefire that paved the way for the Northern Irish peace process.

Two decades have passed since the IRA ceasefire of 1994 (August 31, 1994) and the peace dividend has revitalised Belfast's city centre.
The Titanic museum and Titanic film studios are some of the must-see sights on any trip to the capital of Northern Ireland.
But not far from the city centre, so-called peace lines - walls of brick, steel and barbed wire - divide Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods.
The largest barrier dates back to 1970, after the British territory's sectarian conflict began with major Catholic-Protestant street battles.
Despite relative peace, the walls have kept growing in number and size during the past two decades.
The Falls Road is a Catholic heartland, a thriving community rich with heritage and culture.
Running almost parallel, only a few hundred meters away, is the Shankill Road.
It's a Protestant area� rich in heritage and also proud of its culture.
Brian McFaul, reflects on how life has changed since the start of the peace process.
Waking up every morning and hearing news reports of who has been killed and wondering who was next. Getting stopped by the army everywhere you went and the police everywhere you went. Things seem a lot calmer now but we are still a long way off getting Peace, but it's a lot better now than what it was twenty years ago, he says.
Stephen Morrow lives in nearby Lisburn, a suburb of Belfast.
I grew up in the trouble's and I remember the barricades and the soldiers on the streets, people not being able to go into town and being restricted to their own areas, and just staying within their own areas, he recalls.
These abandoned homes of formerly protestant residents face Catholic homes with reinforced protected glass face just feet away. The communities are kept apart by a fence, which is part of the peace line.
Claire Harris is youth worker with the Belfast Interface Project, which aims to improve cross-commuity relations in districts close to the peace lines.
She says: Really, what we find is that the young people are there because it's a bit of craic (fun) and something to do, it's the adrenalin of being in a riot is something that's unparalleled in terms of the excitement that that brings.
Tourism in Northern Ireland has grown significantly in the past decade and dozens of new hotels have opened to cater from the growing number of visitors.
Sporadic intercommunal clashes have occurred in recent years, but this July's annual parades by Protestant hard-liners, passed off relatively peacefully.
Aiden McCormick, Director of Belfast City Sight Seeing buses, says that his industry relies on peace and stability.
A business like ours relies on political stability and peace and more importantly the perception of peace and stability. If you look at other regions in the world that have conflict or instability, visitor numbers drop immediately. Thankfully this year we have had a peaceful summer and visitor numbers are growing every single year.
in 2013, there 1.8 million visitors and the local unity government hopes to increase that to over 2 million annually by 2016.
The main faction of the Irish Republican Army, the Provisional IRA, killed nearly 1,800 people during a failed 1970-1994 campaign to force Northern Ireland out of the United Kingdom.
However the ceasefire resumed in 1997.
