It was an important trading port during the Middle Ages, and was the site of the Battle of Belfast in 1689. In the 19th century, Belfast became an important industrial city and was a major producer of linen and shipbuilding. During the 20th century, it was the site of the 1916 Easter Rising, a major event in the struggle for Irish independence, and subsequently suffered through the Troubles of the late 20th century.

Today, Belfast is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city with a thriving cultural scene. It is home to a number of important cultural attractions, including the Ulster Museum, the Grand Opera House, and the Titanic Belfast.
