Falls Road, Main road in West Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Falls Road extends two miles from Divis Street in central Belfast to Andersonstown, featuring residential houses, small shops, schools, and medical facilities.
The name originates from Irish 'túath na bhFál', referring to a country lane that transformed into an industrial area with linen mills during the 19th century.
Numerous murals along the walls depict political themes, local figures, and international solidarity movements, reflecting the area's strong Catholic and Republican identity.
The Royal Victoria Hospital and Royal Jubilee Maternity Service form Northern Ireland's largest medical complex, serving the local population along Falls Road.
Peace walls separate Falls Road from neighboring communities, standing as physical reminders of the divisions that emerged during Northern Ireland's conflict period.
