After the Tragedy...a new icon for the city - Titanic Belfast

On 31st March 2012, 100 years after the sinking of the Titanic, the Titanic Belfast was opened, on the heads of the historical Olympic's and Titanic's slipways.

The Titanic Belfast was part of the reinvention of the site which began with the new millennium and was also driven by the fact that several visitors were coming from all over the World interested in see where the Titanic was built.

This was the beginning of the new Lagan Village masterplan and of the new Titanic Quarter.

Titanic Belfast, with its jutting prows, became another icon of the city. It hosts a visitor centre which guides the visitors through the story of Belfast and the one of the Titanic. Info here http://titanicbelfast.com/
