City hall is located in the middle of Belfast in Donegall Square. After arriving, we immediately headed here to gather our bearings and find our tour guide.

On the loyalist side, characterized by the British flags hanging all along the row homes, is a mural under construction. This wall typically presents a controversial mural of Stephen 'Top Gun' McKeag, a notable Ulster Defence Association member linked to 12 murders. Over the years, this wall has been edited to change his appearance and give him more of a military look. The smaller wall to the left hosts a common painting style for a gun that seems to follow you at any angle to remind those they are always being watched.

This gate separates Shankill Road and Falls Road. This gate is one of the later gates closing at 10:30p. The wall had many commissioned paintings on it that echoed the story of a free city and peace.

One of the most notable walls in the city is the extremely tall Cupar Way wall. This wall is speckled in graffiti and has a road running along the edge of it on the Protestant side.

Tucked away in the corner of a tiny street on the Catholic side is a memorial dedicated to those that died as a direct result of The Troubles just from the Clonard neighborhood. A full list of names and dates of those passed, the most recent being Dominic Marron on August 17, 2004 of complications from being shot by a rubber bullet in 1981, can be accessed here.

Rick has his own coverage of this memorial on the travel blog.

Right down Clonard St. on Falls Road stands the iconic Bobby Sands Mural on the side of the Sinn Féin headquarters of Belfast. The mural we see today was painted in 2005 after this building was rebuilt in 2000. Many IRA murals have adorned this wall as early as 1982 and can be found here.
