Information about BELFAST BELFAST is the capital of Northern Ireland and its largest city by some way. More than a third of the province's population live within the Belfast conurbation.For many, however, Belfast will always be remembered as the focus of the Troubles that have dominated Northern Ireland's politics and so many people's personal lives since 1969, and the city continues to bear the scars. In appearance Belfast closely resembles Liverpool, Glasgow or any other industrial port across the water, and, similarly, its largely defunct docklands� in which, famously, the Titanic was built� are undergoing massive redevelopment. The city centre is still characterized by numerous elegant Victorian buildings, and the streets leading northwards from the hub of Belfast life, Donegall Square, are packed with chain stores and shopping precincts. Yet this prosperity is not reflected in every aspect of Belfast life. The number of rough sleepers has increased and some areas of the city evince obvious economic decline.On week nights the city centre resembles a ghost town, though there's no doubt that Belfast continues to thrive culturally. Music, theatre and the visual arts are all flourishing, and traditional Irish culture is rapidly being rediscovered.Security measures in the city have been considerably relaxed and most of the barriers and controls have been removed. However, the iron blockade known as the Peace Line still bisects the Catholic and Protestant communities of West Belfast, a grim physical reminder of the city's and country's sectarian divisions.
