Free Derry Corner

Free Derry Corner is a significant landmark in Derry, Northern Ireland, symbolizing resistance during the Troubles, a period of conflict from the late 1960s to the late 1990s. Located in the Bogside area, the corner features a large painted wall with the words "You Are Now Entering Free Derry," marking a zone where residents asserted their independence from British control and policing. It became a powerful emblem of community identity, resistance, and the struggle for civil rights. Today, it serves as a memorial and reminder of the history and efforts toward peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland.
