Twenty-five years after a peace agreement was signed in Northern Ireland, ending decades of violence between catholics and protestants, the 'peace walls' built by the British army continue to dominate the city of Belfast.
75 walls, collectively stretching over 13 kilometres, were built by the British army in 1968 to separate the pro-Ireland republicans, mainly Catholic, and the pro-UK loyalists, mainly Protestant.
The sectarian violence, known as 'The Troubles', ended with a peace accord - the Good Friday Agreement signed in 1998.
Michael Culbert is a former member of the republican paramilitary organisation the IRA.
He now leads tours of the walls; for him, they are a symbol of the past.
In Berlin, the wall dividing the city was torn down with the end of the Soviet Union.
Jonny Byrne, a professor in criminal justice, believes there are reasons why this has never occurred in Belfast.
The peace walls, whilst now a tourist attraction, are also a magnet for what Byrne terms 'recreational rioting' and in 2021, they served as flashpoints for tensions over Brexit trade agreements.
As communities come together in other parts of the city, will this create pressure for the walls to finally come down?
Michael Culbert believes this will take time.
