Voortrekker Monument (Pretoria, South Africa)

The Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria was built to honour thousands of Boer pioneers (“Voortrekkers”) who left the British Cape Colony between 1835 and 1854 to settle down land inwards and found a new and independent state. The 40 by 40 metre square shaped granite monument was designed by Gerard Leendert Pieter Moerdijk and inaugurated on December 16th,1949. Due to it’s elevated position on a hilltop it can be seen from most points of the city. Every year on the 16th of December, the anniversary of the historic battle at the Blood River in 1838 when 464 Boers defeated more than 10,000 Zulu warriors and the water of the Ncome River turned red, descendants of the Boers (or Afrikaner in Afrikaans) travel to the monument to commemorate the event. Due to the way the monument was constructed a ray of sun will fall onto the Shrine of Honour at noon on exactly this day. In the Hall of Heroes visitors can see the largest marble frieze in the world. Opening hours: From 1 May to 31 Aug: 08:00-17:00 From 1 Sep to 30 April: 08:00-18:00
