Belfast, Northern Ireland

26 images Created 27 Sep 2016

Belfast is the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland. On the River Lagan, it had a population of 286,000 at the 2011 census and 333,871 in 2015.

Belfast was granted city status in 1888.

Belfast was a centre of the Irish linen, tobacco processing, rope-making and shipbuilding industries: in the early 20th century, Harland and Wolff, which built the RMS Titanic, was the world's biggest and most productive shipyard.

Belfast played a key role in the Industrial Revolution, and was a global industrial centre until the latter half of the 20th century.

Today, Belfast remains a centre for industry, as well as the arts, higher education, business, and law, and is the economic engine of Northern Ireland.

The city suffered greatly during the conflict called "the Troubles", but latterly has undergone a sustained period of calm, free from the intense political violence of former years, and substantial economic and commercial growth.
