Ulster, Province in northern Ireland
Ulster covers 22,067 square kilometers and includes nine counties, with six located in Northern Ireland and three in the Republic of Ireland.
The partition of Ireland in 1921 divided Ulster, with six counties forming Northern Ireland while Donegal, Cavan, and Monaghan joined the Irish Free State.
The Ulster cycle of medieval Irish literature contains tales of heroes and warriors, including the legendary figure of Cú Chulainn and his martial feats.
Belfast, the capital of Ulster, connects to major European cities through its international airport and maintains regular ferry services to Great Britain.
The northernmost point of Ireland lies in County Donegal, part of historic Ulster but belonging to the Republic of Ireland rather than Northern Ireland.
