The Titanic Quarter in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is a large-scale waterfront regeneration project centred on land in Belfast Harbour, known until 1995 as Queen's Island. The 185-acre site, previously occupied by part of the Harland and Wolff shipyard, is named after the company's, and the city's, most famous product, RMS Titanic.
The largest development within the site is the £97 million Titanic Belfast visitor attraction which is the largest of its type in the world and attracts over 800,000 visitors each year. It’s also home to Titanic Studios, used during the production of HBO's television series Game of Thrones. The new £30 million headquarters of the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) opened at Titanic Boulevard in April 2011, closely followed in September 2011 by the largest education facility in Northern Ireland - Belfast Metropolitan College.
In September 2014, Northern Irish boxer Carl Frampton won the IBF world super-bantamweight title in a specially constructed outdoor arena in the Titanic Quarter in front of 16,000 fans Northern Ireland's largest ever boxing crowd.
