First Presbyterian Church

A hidden gem of a building that sits at the centre of Irish history and tells more than a few tales that contradict the standard narrative of religious division that has blighted Belfast's history. Dating from 1783, you cross the threshold and you're transported back to the late 1700s. John Wesley preached from the pulpit and marvelled at it's wonderful elliptical shape. It's members made tremendous stands for civil and religious freedoms. You will have plenty of time to explore and take photographs. A wonderful way to finish your walking tour, 5 minutes from where you started.
