Belfast Tour and Murals

Nationalist/Republican murals on the Falls Road. The range from memorials, art reproductions, tributes to the Basque country and Palestine, a tribute to Frederick Douglass, to a few indictments of President Bush and our handling of Cuba.


A tribute to the Catholic victims of the 1981 hunger strike. The H-shape is supposed to represent the H-block of the jail cells.


Peace wall.


Unionist/loyalist tribute and memorial to the Queen Mother. Part of it says "No rebel hate will harm this state, the bible or the crown."


A UFF (Ulster Freedom Fighter) mural--they are Loyalists. See what I mean about scary masked and armed men?
