Murals Political Tour

We invite you to walk the streets of the city on both sides of the Peace Wall.

Our guide had the opportunity to hear the testimonies of former political prisoners from both communities and their personal stories, transmitting their message and local culture during the tour.

This is a unique opportunity that will allow you to learn details of the facts that you will not get in the history books about that turbulent period of the Contemporary Age.


Explore up close, on foot, the world-famous murals of the city that earns its reputation as the world's largest outdoor art gallery, and understand the stories behind them.

It

starts on Divis Street in front of Radio Fáilte.

Description of the tour

To begin, we will learn the story behind the murals of the Falls Road neighborhood and the Republican ideology. We will witness the desire of this community to be part of the Republic of Ireland

In the second part of the tour, we will pass through the doors that form part of the Peace Wall in English. Once we cross, we will be in the neighborhood of Shankill Road, a predominantly Protestant area. You will witness the determination of the locals who want to continue to belong to the United Kingdom and you will have the opportunity to see the Peace Wall up close, a wall that remains there to this day, physically dividing both communities
