History
Belfast’s murals grew out of the Troubles (late 20th century) and now serve both as political markers and community projects reflecting change.
Conservation
Many mural projects are community-led with conservation efforts to preserve painted surfaces; visitors are asked not to add graffiti and to follow local guidance to reduce impact.
