Free Derry Corner is a significant historical landmark located in the Bogside neighborhood of Derry, Northern Ireland. It is famously known for the iconic gable wall that bears the slogan "You are now entering Free Derry," which first appeared in January 1969 during a period of civil rights protests. The area around Free Derry Corner was a focal point during the Troubles, a conflict that spanned from the late 1960s to 1998, and it symbolized the community's resistance and desire for civil rights.
