Glass of Thrones

Just recently the phenomenal HBO series ‘Game of Thrones’ ended, after eight seasons that has captivated fans all around the world. Game of Thrones has been a huge tourism drive for Northern Ireland, as many of the filming locations have taken place in County Antrim, County Down and County Derry/Londonderry.

The show has helped to transform Northern Ireland into a top tourism destination. There are many attractions around the country that are dedicated to GOT. You can check out guided tours of filming locations; taking you to famous sites such as the Dark Hedges. At the Ulster Museum in Belfast, you can see the amazing Game of Thrones Tapestry.

Incredible Stained Glass Windows Attraction

And now a new Game of Thrones attraction has been unveiled in Belfast by Tourism Ireland. Stunning giant stained glass windows have been created around popular locations in Belfast as a dedication to the show and the tourism it has brought to the city.

The colorful glass windows trail is a beautiful tribute to say goodbye to the show that has been loved by many for so long. Although the show ended a few weeks ago, a new stained glass window or ‘Glass of Thrones’ was officially unveiled as each episode of the final series aired on TV.

There are six incredible crafted stained glass windows altogether, located in Belfast for fans to check out and appreciate. Created to help ensure the legacy of the show isn’t forgotten. Each of the ‘Glass of Thrones’ showcase important houses from GOT and some of its famous moment over its eight years. These stained glass windows have been created by artists from Bangor, Northern Ireland.

The Game of Thrones trail will lead visitors around the city and eventually make their way to the final window located at the Titanic studios, a place that has played a huge importance in GOT as much of the series was produced there.

In the video below you can check out the amazing process behind the stained glass windows and how they were brought to life.

Locations of the ‘Glass of Thrones’

The first ‘Glass of Thrones’ is located opposite Belfast City Hill, paying tribute to the House Stark – one of the famous GOT dynasties that fans will know all too well. This was elected just hours before UK fans got to see the first episode of the final season.
