The City Is Saved
The mural illustrates a historical scene with a group of people celebrating or reacting to a significant event involving a cannon positioned on a fortress wall overlooking a river. The scene likely represents a moment from the Siege of Derry (1689) during the Williamite Wars.
In the background, a distant city is visible across the river, and smoke rises from the scene, indicating conflict or battle.
A diverse group of men, women, and children is depicted, some raising their hands or toasting in celebration.
Inset within the mural is a portrait of a man in 17th-century attire with long dark curls and a formal robe, possibly representing King William III or a notable figure from the Siege of Derry.
Background:
The river and lush green hills establish the location as a fortified city on a strategic waterway, consistent with historical depictions of Londonderry/Derry.
Bottom Section:
The text at the bottom reads: "The City is Saved."
