It is a 19th-century reconstruction of a fort believed to have been built by the Northern Uí Néill in the sixth or seventh century AD. Evidence suggests the site was in use before the fort's construction. It has been identified as the seat of the Kingdom of Ailech and as one of the royal sites of Gaelic Ireland.

The city wall can be walked all the way around the city and offers interesting views. You can see the churches, down to the Bogside, the main street with the bunkered court, and the beautiful Guildhall. You can also see the curbs of the different districts, which are colored according to their affiliation. While the scenery seemed a bit threatening on our first visit in the 1990s, this seems to have given way to a peaceful openness, the architectural expression of which has become the beautiful, curved, connecting Peace Bridge.

From Belfast International Airport, Derry is reached after a change in Antrim (15 min by bus) and 90 min by train. Right on the river, on the Waterside but close to a bridge that takes you to the other side, close to the center.
