1. The Peace Mural Marker

Inscription.

This mural shows a dove and an oak leaf, as symbols of hope for the city’s future. The dove is the name of St Columba, the city’s founder, who is said to have built his monastery in an oak grove. The background mosaic of the colours of the spectrum expresses what the Artists mean by peace.

The colours of the mural say that peace without freedom is no peace at all.

Erected 2004 by The Bogside Artists.
