Cape Town Castle of Good Hope
The Castle of Good hope built between 1666 and 1679 is known as the oldest surviving building in South Africa and has been the center of civilian, political and military life at the Cape from approximately 1679
This historical building now houses, among others, the William Fehr Collection, an African pottery collection, the Castle Military Museum and a forge.
The Castle was, however, not the first fort to be built at the Cape. A quadrangular (four-pointed) fort was built after the arrival of Jan van Riebeeck in 1652 where the Grand Parade and the main Post Office are situated today. A model of this original fort can be seen in the Castle Military Museum.
