Northern Ireland still is a part of the UK and in my opinion feels like a completely different country. It is filled still with tension and separation between the Protestant and catholics. The cities are filled with many powerful and moving pieces of artwork and other sites. 
This may need a bit of explanation. This is a photo of a sign used in the protest with the troubles in Ireland. The big dark spot in the middle is a blood stain. 
The city of Belfast is cover ed in murals, most are political. Some change monthly and some remain from the troubles.
