(Translated by Google) These walls called "Muros de La Paz" have the purpose of containing the confrontations between the Protestant and Catholic groups in that area, some walls are very short, less than 100 meters and the most famous is more than 5 kilometers long. Some are quite tall to contain the objects that are thrown at each other. There is even an area of the city that has gates in the streets, and that are closed at certain times, so that in the dark the groups cannot enter and attack each other. The first wall was built in 1969, because every time the attacks between Catholics and Protestants were more violent. It is worth mentioning that of all the countries where Christianity is practiced, in Northern Ireland Catholics are a minority.

Algunos son bastante altos para contener los objetos que se lanzan unos a otros. Inclusive hay una rea de la ciudad que tiene puertas en las calles, y que se cierran a determinada, para que a la oscuridad los grupos no puedan ingresar agredirse unos a otros. El primer muro fue construido 1969, porque cada vez los ataques entre catlicos y protestantes eran ms violentos. Cabe mencionar que de todos los pases donde se practica el cristianismo, en Irlanda del Norte los catlicos son minora.
