The “peace wall” that divides west Belfast into Protestant and Catholic areas is mentioned in various places in the Rough Guide To Belfast. It doesn’t feature in the Discover NI or Visit Britain lists of ‘top attractions’ but is #4 on TripAdvisor’s list of things to do in Belfast.
The wall is notable for the wild-style writing and other art painted on the Shankill side – including this paste-up by Leo Boyd (web) – but the wall itself, at 30+ feet tall, is the main draw, and tourists sign their names (and patronising slogans) on top of the art.
For a history of the wall and the art on it, see its Visual History page.

The point about the peace wall being a top TripAdvisor attraction despite its absence from official tourism lists is a fascinating contradiction. It really highlights how visitor interests can diverge from curated narratives. The sheer height of the structure you mentioned must make seeing it in person an imposing experience.
