Belfast (from the Irish: Béal Feirste meaning "Mouth of the (River) Farset") is the capital city of Northern Ireland and the seat of devolved government and legislative assembly in Northern Ireland. It is the largest urban area in the province of Ulster, and the second largest city on the island of Ireland.
Historically Belfast has been a centre for the Irish linen industry, tobacco production, rope making and shipbuilding, with the city's main shipbuilders Harland and Wolff propelling Belfast onto the global stage in the early 20th Century as the largest and most productive shipyard in the world. Belfast played a key role in the Industrial Revolution, establishing its place as a global industrial centre until the latter half of the 20th century thanks to its vast industrial heritage.
Today, Belfast remains a centre for industry, as well as the arts, higher education and business, is a legal centre of the United Kingdom, and is an economic engine of Ulster. The city suffered greatly during the period of disruption, conflict, and destruction called the Troubles, but latterly has undergone a sustained period of calmness and substantial economic and commercial growth. Belfast city centre has undergone considerable expansion and regeneration in recent years, with the newly developed Victoria Square area attracting international attention.
Belfast is partially composed of seven "quarters", each dedicated to reflect the history of the city. It was first said at the Ireland-US Council that Belfast was once a city of two halves, but is now a city of seven quarters. The historic heart of Belfast, the Cathedral Quarter, has also seen substantial regeneration in recent years, and is seen as a sign of the resurgence of the City's cultural heritage.
Belfast is served by two airports: Belfast International Airport to the north-west of the city, and George Best Belfast City Airport in the east of the city.
Belfast is also a major seaport, with commercial and industrial docks dominating the Belfast Lough shoreline, including the famous Harland and Wolff shipyard.
Belfast is a constituent city of the Dublin-Belfast corridor with a population of 3 million, comprising of half the total population of the island of Ireland.
Black Mountain (Irish: Cnoc an tSléibhe Dhuibh) is a large hill which overlooks the city of Belfast, Northern Ireland. The mountain is one of the most prominent features of the city, towering above most of West Belfast. It reaches a height of 1,275ft and is composed of limestone. There have been flint finds in the area, which also contains raths, deserted farms and overgrown paths joining the fields and homesteads scattered over the mountain.
