Belfast Quarters facts for kids
The central area of Belfast has been divided into seven Quarters related to its history:
- Cathedral Quarter
- Gaeltacht Quarter
- Smithfield Market and Library Quarter
- Linen Quarter
- Market Quarter
- Queen's Quarter
- Titanic Quarter
The Quarters do not evenly divide the city into four parts, and not all of Belfast's city centre is part of a Quarter. Instead, each Quarter has something important in its history and locale. The "Quarter" names were given in 2001.
