The Falls Memorial Garden

Located in Falls road, close to the International Wall, this is one of the first memorial gardens of this kind in Belfast.

It was opened in 2001 and it is dedicated to the memory of local IRA members and residents of the area who died during the conflicts.

The mural contains the images of young IRA men of the area who died on Active Service, and the map of the area, as it was in the early '70s, showing the places where they died.
