Belfast is the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland, and the site has been occupied since the Bronze age. It is located at the mouth of the Lagan river on Belfast Lough, an inlet of the northern channel of the Irish Sea. The city is flanked by long lines of hills on two sides, the Antrim Hills in the north and Castlereagh Hills in the south.
