Historical castle / fortress. Needs a revamp as it’s falling into disrepair. Current a large tent town has popped up next to it, which doesn’t bode well for tourist safety.

Oldest building in Cape Town with plenty of history. Watch the daily parade and cannon show, be sure to follow their guided walks. 50rand entry fee.

Nice place to visit, with a few modern touches of paint. Pity most of the places were under renovations at the end of 2015. Hoping for the best ahead.

Fiquei decepcionado, porque achei que veria mais os aspectos históricos e, na verdade, vimos mais uma oportunidade para o comercio local.

Pedir guia en español en la entrada. Solo R5 y merece la pena, muy informativa.
