ADDRESS c/o Darling & Buitenkant Street, Cape Town, Cape-Town-City Directions

The Castle of Good Hope was built by the Dutch shortly after Jan van Riebeeck arrived in the Cape and was completed in 1666. It was used as a base for the Dutch East India Company. Today the Castle is still the seat of the military in Cape Town. It is well worth a visit during a trip to Cape Town, and is conveniently located in the Cape Town City Centre, just next to the Grand Parade.
