Built during the Great Famine of the mid-19th century, it bears witness to the great devotion of the Catholic population of Derry. Impressive church that dominates the Bogside district.

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.

In Bigside, a district of Derry that can be seen from the high city walls, the memory of Bloody Sunday is still very much alive. At the foot of the city walls you will find the low gabled structure that can be seen in the background of the historical photos.
