Highlights
Saint Anne’s Cathedral
Belfast Cathedral was built gradually in the early 20th century on the site of the old St. Anne’s parish church, which dated back to 1776. The architecture is Romanesque. In the sanctuary, look for the Good Samaritan window, the only surviving feature from the 18th-century church.
Titanic Belfast
The iconic, six-story building is located in the heart of Belfast, on the historic site where the Titanic was designed, built, and launched in 1912. You can learn the story of the Titanic, from its conception, construction, and shipbuilding, to its maiden voyage and then into history.
Belfast Castle
On the southern edge of Cave Hill Country Park lies a Scottish Baronial-style mansion, built in the 19th century by George Chichester, 3rd Marquess of Donegall. The Scottish Baronial style is a combination of Renaissance and Gothic, so the castle is adorned with corner turrets, stepped gables, and faux battlements.
Belfast City Hall
The City Hall, built in Baroque style, is located in the city center. Its exterior is made of Portland stone and its magnificent interior is decorated with Italian marble, filled with historical paintings and statues that reveal the history of both the building and Belfast.
