Political Murals

It may sound like a cliché, but if walls could talk, in Belfast especially, several walls would have stories to tell. Large, impassioned murals and emotionally-charged drawings and texts on walls, express the religious and political sentiments—created by both the nationalists and the loyalists, at the time of the troubles in Belfast. The street art compelling in its scale and dramatic in its rendering, illustrates the conflicts, hopes, thoughts and ideas of that time. It is possible to join a guided tour that sheds more light on these artistic mirrors.
