Divis Tower, Residential tower in Falls Road, Belfast, Northern Ireland

The 61-meter concrete structure contains 96 apartments spread across 19 floors, making it the fifteenth tallest building in Belfast.

The British Army maintained an observation post on the top two floors from the 1970s until 2005, accessing it exclusively by helicopter.

The tower witnessed significant events during the Northern Ireland conflicts, including the death of Patrick Rooney in August 1969.

A 2009 renovation program worth £1.1 million added eight new residential units on the previously military-occupied top floors.

The building stands on the former location of Falls Road Methodist Church, which Belfast Corporation purchased for £11,000 in 1966.

Inception: 1966

GPS coordinates: 54.60000,-5.94220
