An interesting and extensive array of exhibits depicting the history of the Huguenots in the Cape Colony and the extent of the persecution that caused them to flee their home countries. The monument, with its magnificent backdrop of mountains, is worth a visit. The beautiful spring and summer gardens make for wonderful photo opportunities. Check the opening times as the gates do get locked overnight.

Her gaze is fixed on a majestic vision of coming things. On the portrayed Southernmost point of Africa to where the frail ships transported the Huguenots, the symbols of their religion (the Bible), art and cult
