The Taj Hotel where our apartment is located is in the historical centre of Cape Town right opposite the old Company's garden which is the oldest garden in the country. It has its origins in Jan van Riebeeck’s Vegetable Garden, which he grew to feed the original colony as early as 1650. 1. The Groote Kerk and Slave Lodge Starting at the ‘bottom’ – on Wale Street – you will find two buildings that encapsulate the tumultuous history of the city. The Groote Kerk (literally ‘Big Church’) is still in use: its solid walls and austere interior perfectly sum up the Calvinist approach to life brought to the Mother City by Dutch settlers. Directly opposite it, bedecked with a double row of green shutters, is the Slave Lodge. Now a museum it was once the home of the Cape colony’s slaves. 2. St George’s Cathedral On the same road as the Slave Lodge and opposite the start of St George’s Mall, an open-air pedestrian walk, is St George’s Cathedral. An Anglican church designed by Sir Herbert Baker, one of South Africa’s great architects, it played a central role in the fight against apartheid and is often graced by Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu. 3. Greenmarket Square and the Old Town House Walking slightly down St George’s Mall, turn left on Longmarket Street to get to Greenmarket Square. The original cobbles make for an uneven walking surface (not great for prams, either) but the square is a hive of activity: there are buskers, vendors, musicians and market sellers all jostling cheek by jowl. It’s a good place to pick up a special memento of your time in Africa. 4. The Company Gardens Restaurant Walking up through the middle of the gardens, you will pass a statue of former prime minister of the Cape colony Cecil John Rhodes. To the left, in a clearing strung with human-sized birds’ nests, is the Company Gardens Restaurant, a delightful family restaurant that’s a great place to stop for lunch Thre are many other things to look out for & enjoy.
