Just in the middle of the city lies the oldest building in south africa, the castle. It's a really cool place to visit because of this, and as well because of the artworks and the moat was the best bit.

The former stronghold of the dutch east india company, this building is one of the oldest in south africa and you can really imagine the strength of these merchants as you walk around and explore. with museums to give some context and insight this is a really good day out.
