Lots of history for South Africans. Such a beautiful structure, and to think it was built so many years ago. The sun shines into the structure at a specific time of day, and reaches the centre of the building on the ground level inside. A must to see! I attended a choir festival which was held inside the monument, and... More

I was thinking what to write about this and honestly... there is nothing good or bad. It's a building...boring as hell and basically nothing more than a few indications of colonial people. You can see this anywhere in the world. This is purely a display of Afrikaans people in the 1800.... Don't waste your time and definitely not worth the... More

Extremely beautiful and well thought out displays. Lots of symbolism and well organized and cared for displays.

Step back in time and enjoy a little South African history by visiting this site. A lot of walking and many steps to climb, so be warned! More

One of our heritage monuments, must been seen the building is amazing !! More

Very interesting to learn the "other" history of South Africa, and the roots of Pretoria...the best is combine this visit with the Freedom Park which is very close from the Voort, and why not having a "braii" and appreciate the animals who are turning around inside the protected area of this Monument. But definitely, choose sunny and clear day for... More
