Freedom Park

A significant amount of human life as well as architectural heritage of the city has been lost as a result of the battles waged throughout South Africa's history. Freedom Park tells the tale of South Africa's freedom and pays tribute to those who were instrumental, perched on Salvokop Hill with sweeping views. Freedom Park is a monument created to remember the lives killed in battles including World War 1, World War 2, and South African wars. A spectacular museum with exhibits tracing the history of the country from the dawn of humanity to the present day is housed at the site, which was made public in 2007. It is made up of a number of moving memorials.

The location provides a view of the neighboring Voortrekker Monument as well as other significant metropolitan sites. The Wall of Names, an eternal flame, and the Gallery of Leaders, an inspiring look at role models on the path to independence, are notable features. The Wall of Names is inscribed with the names of all those who gave their lives in South Africa's key conflicts. A two-hour guided tour offers intriguing insight into the stories that are portrayed here as well as the architectural symbols. All South Africans can use Freedom Park as a beacon to lead them along a path of optimism and patriotism to a proudly unified country.
