Voortrekker Monument

Sights & Landmarks • Pretoria, Gauteng

The Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa stands as a prominent symbol of Afrikaner nationalism and the Great Trek of the 1830s.

The Monument's design is a blend of historical symbolism and modernist architecture, with a distinctive central lanter that illuminates the interior on significant dates.

The surrounding grounds boast beautiful gardens and indigenous trees, creating a peaceful atmosphere for reflection on South Africa's complex history.
