Mural in Derry, Northern Ireland depicting the clash between the British army and Irish Republicans.
About this place:
Ireland is a nation of spectacular wall murals, enromous works of public art that capture the best and worst of the country's history. The murals of Free Derry, in the northern city of Londonderry, are a chilling reminder of the country's divisive past and unsettled future. The murals mostly depict the height of violence between Irish Republicans and British Loyalists, the peak of which came in 1972. January 30 of that year is known as Bloody Sunday, after the deaths of 26 civil rights protesters.
