4 inspired architecture:

churches of belfast city centre With Inspired Architecture, we take you on a journey around the churches still active right in the city centre. You may be intrigued by the stories of different faiths working together to build their places of worship, and you will be amazed and uplifted by the intricate design and construction - from St. Malachy’s ceiling, “like a wedding cake turned inside out”, to the columns of St. George’s being floated down the canal to their new home.

Come with us and discover the impact this colourful, electric style had on the city of Belfast.
