Shankill Road, Main thoroughfare in West Belfast, Northern Ireland
The road extends 1.5 miles from central Belfast toward the west, featuring numerous shops, residential streets, and political murals on building walls.
The area housed the Church of St Patrick of the White Ford in 455 AD, with six smaller churches along the River Lagan's west bank.
The neighborhood displays multiple murals that represent local identity, political views, and connections to British monarchy through artistic expressions.
Tourist buses make regular stops along Shankill Road during daylight hours, allowing visitors to observe the street's historical landmarks and architecture.
Peace walls separate this street from the Falls Road area since 1969, reflecting the physical divisions between Protestant and Catholic communities.
