When I visited Belfast in 2012 and even though I thought I knew about the history of the city, I was very much puzzled. I felt the tension between catholic an protestant areas in this city and,to my opinion, this duality of religion is still very much a struggle in the daily life. These areas are still divided by huge walls and gates to set the two religions apart. I was impressed by this city and secretly fell in love with the people of Belfast :-) This is just my observation, no judgement or conclusion involved.
