Northern Ireland is saying goodbye to Game of Thrones but its impact on the country will not be forgotten for very a long time.
To commemorate the show’s final season and celebrate Northern Ireland as Game of Thrones Territory, six giant windows will appear around Belfast, immortalising the show’s epic battles, fire-breathing dragons, ice-blue white walkers and blood-red weddings in stained glass, giving fans from all over the world a brand-new Game of Thrones pilgrimage to visit and follow in the city where much of the hit show was filmed.
Tourism Ireland’s ‘Glass of Thrones’ campaign has been inspired by online fan search data. Each window will highlight a key House from the show, with a series of panels depicting the most exciting and talked-about moments from the entire saga.
Fans will be able to pose in front of each large window for photos and selfies.
The first window, revealed this week in Belfast, depicts the most searched scenes and storylines of House Stark – whose spiritual home Winterfell is set at Castle Ward in Co Down, Northern Ireland.
The window overlooks Belfast City Hall – home to the city’s more traditional stained-glass artworks.
