Summary[edit]

Description
English: Divis Tower, Belfast Divis Tower is a 61m (200.08 feet) tall residential tower block at the foot of the Falls Road in Belfast. 20 floors tall, it was built in 1966 and is named after the nearby Divis Mountain. As a result of terrorist activity in the area, the British Army constructed an observation post on the roof in the 1970s and occupied the top two floors of the building. At the height of The Troubles the army was only able to access the post by helicopter. This was finally removed a few years ago.
