The Castle of Good Hope
Locally known as “The Castle”, the City of Cape Town says this bastion fort is considered the best-preserved example of a 17th-century architectural structure in the world. A bell tower over the main entrance was built in 1684. The original bell, also known as the oldest in South Africa, was cast in Amsterdam in 1697 and weighs just over 300 kilograms.
The Castle also acted as the local headquarters for the South African Army in the Western Cape and today houses the Castle Military Museum and ceremonial facilities for the traditional Cape Regiments.
