Description

Begin your journey into South Africa’s past, present, and future at Constitution Hill.

As you walk through these grounds, see how the very walls that once symbolized oppression have been transformed into a beacon of justice, freedom, and transformation. Experience the Old Fort, the Women's Jail, and Number Four prison—each with powerful stories that speak to South Africa’s fight for dignity and equality.
