Location of Political Murals in Belfast

Political murals in Belfast are powerful visual symbols of the city's complex and often contentious history. They vividly depict themes related to the Troubles, the decades-long conflict between Unionists and Nationalists. These murals, painted on the walls of both Protestant and Catholic neighborhoods, express identity, commemorate historical events, and honor paramilitary figures. Some murals promote peace and reconciliation, while others assert territorial claims or political ideologies. Over time, they have evolved from militant messages to broader social and cultural themes, reflecting the changing dynamics in Northern Ireland. These murals serve as both historical records and ongoing dialogues.
