The Titanic Belfast building is an impressive addition to Belfast's docks. Its facade is clad in 3,000 silver aluminium sheets, intricately folded into asymmetrical geometries to recreate the effect of reflections in water.

The huge structure houses nine galleries, a conference centre, accommodation and restaurants. You can also go on a Titanic Experience to learn more about its tragic fate.

The building opened on March 31, 2012 and attracted over 800,000 visitors in the first year. The attraction belongs to a non-profit foundation. The architects said that "we have created an architectural icon that captures the spirit of the shipyards, ships, water crystals, ice and the White Star Line logo. Its architectural shape intersects a skyline silhouette that was inspired by the very ships that were built on this sacred ground.

On April 10, 1912, the Titanic left the port of Southampton, England, to acclaim. The maiden voyage to New York was to pass via Cherbourg in France and Queenstown in Ireland. But just four days after the start of the voyage, at around 11:40 p.m. on April 14, the ship collided with the destructive iceberg - and finally sank completely in the freezing cold Atlantic at 2:20 a.m. on April 15. The wreck of the Titanic lies around 600 kilometers southeast of the coast of Newfoundland at a depth of almost 4,000 meters. It was not discovered until 1985.
