Voortrekker Monument: A Testament to Afrikaner History

Located in Pretoria, the Voortrekker Monument is not only an architectural marvel but a significant historical site. It honors the Voortrekkers' migration into the African interior.

Constructed between 1938 and 1949 by architect Gerard Moerdijk, this imposing structure celebrates the journey of the Voortrekkers with its art-deco design. The monument is surrounded by a 3.4 square kilometer nature reserve and features a stone wall carved with 64 wagons, symbolizing the traditional laager. The structure is a grand stone cube, with portraits of Afrikaner heroes at each corner. Visitors can access panoramic views of Pretoria via a staircase and elevator to the roof.
