Belfast
Ireland:
Belfast is the main capital of Northern Ireland and an Irish
province. Belfast is situated on the northeast coast of the island of
Eire . The city is surrounded by a series of hills. Since 1888,
Belfast has officially a city status.
Belfast has been occupied by English and Scottish settlers, which did not fail to create tensions with the native population who rebelled in 1641. The French also established there in order to make the linen trade .
World War II :
Belfast was one of the largest cities in the United Kingdom to be bombed by German forces. Basically, the British government had estimated that Northern Ireland would be safe from the bombing due to its distance from Germany and therefore the island was not protected against the attack: some shelters were built and some guns that had Dublin were sent to protect it. Belfast was targeted because of its importance for the construction of war materials.
Tourism:
Since the first coalition government elected in 1999 , and the cease -fire of Ireland in 2005, tourism is a booming sector in Belfast. In ten years, the number of visitors increased from 1.5 million to over 9 million in 2011. Do not miss the Botanical Park and its beautiful greenhouse and in all the pubs are often played traditional music
