When there's nobody around, get into the very last isolation cell and close the door. Listen to the silence, feel the vibe, feel the fear.
Enlightning though scary to realize what man does to man. Gandhi spent time here. Formative years. Take a tour . Worth it.
It is one of the top sights of the city bus seeing tour destinations. It represents the utmost law@of the country and the view is amazing.
The longer tour will continue to the Old Fort and Women’s Prison after Constitutional Court, it’s more worth it
Tours leave every half hour and take about an hour. Don't forget to leave time for the women's prison , very well done museum .
walk around the top for a great view of the city
A historical prison situated on Constitution Hill. A must visit to learn more about the past.
The woman's gaol and number 4 where Nelson Mandela was held.
Great place for artifacts
U can see the Nilsson’s prison
Awesome visual arts display and interesting architecture
O antigo forte do século 19 serviu de prisão durante o regime do apartheid. Mahatma Gandhi e Nelson Mandela ficaram por aqui. Visitas apenas em tours guiados de 1h30 que acontecem a cada hora.
Em alguns lugares por onde pisamos, podemos sentir o horror de gerações anteriores que passaram por lá. O Constitution Hill é um desses lugares. Energia pesada, mas vale a visita.
A prisão Número 4 virou um centro de memória dos horrores do Apartheid. Também construída dentro do Antigo Forte, está a Corte Constitucional. Vá preparado para viajar no tempo e se emocionar.
Lugar incrível, um grito da história e faz pensar
Museu imperdível!
Prison for whites with better conditions. Nelson Mandela’s “cell” is here in the hospital wing. - Yarn Lam
Lunch is a buffet but breakfast has avo on toast and eggs done your way. Good coffee too. Nice place for a bite before or after your constitution hill tour. - Yarn Lam
The Constitutional Court Art Gallery is a must for anyone interested in South African art in diverse mediums. The book, available in the book shop, about the works and the background to the initiation - fm.no.mad/ZA
