Many buildings in the Catholic and Protestant working-class neighbourhoods of Belfast feature political murals.
In Catholic neighbourhoods, the murals are usually republican and favour Union with the Republic of Ireland. In Protestant areas, they're usually loyalist and support the existing union with the UK. These murals are Belfast's legacy from 'the troubles,' the dacedes-long period of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.
