abstract:The Holyland, The Holy Land or The Holylands is a residential area of inner-south Belfast, Northern Ireland. Composed of a series of streets behind Queen's University near to the River Lagan, the area has been dubbed the Holyland from its street names: Jerusalem Street, Palestine Street, Damascus Street, Carmel Street and Cairo Street.
Holyland landlord Declan Boyle said while he would love to see Belfast's student land converted into a temporary athletes' village, he believes the organisers are cutting things fine.
