Free Derry
You Are Now Entering Free Derry
Murals around the square speak of the violent struggle around this square
This is a mural of the first victim of Bloody Sunday
This one shows a little girl shot dead by a rubber bullet, the one hundredth victim of The Troubles
Over here you can see a student leading the fight from behind her barricade
This smoke in this one comes from CS gas and molotov cocktails thrown from both sides
That blue one over there depicts people fleeing over debris away from British Paratroopers
Everyone wanted to find spent rubber bullets as souvenirs
The IRA blew up the statue that stood atop the city walls
A monument for the hunger strikes in the prisons
The ceasefire was signed in 1994
You Are Now Entering Free Derry
