Public Art & Memorials

Belfast’s landscape is defined by its public art, ranging from the ancient henge at the Giant’s Ring to contemporary installations like the 19.5-meter Thanksgiving Statue. This collection includes the iconic Big Fish with its historical ceramic tiles, the massive hyper-radial Fresnel lens of The Great Light in the Titanic Quarter, and the poignant murals of the International Peace Wall. Memorials throughout the city, such as the Belfast Blitz Memorial and the Royal Ulster Rifles monument, provide concrete links to the city's complex social and historical narrative.
