Review:
The Castle of Good Hope provides a piece of South African colonial history combined with a day of wine tasting and fine dining. Built between 1666 and 1679, the Castle of Good Hope still stands as the oldest surviving building in South Africa and was first built as a quadrangular fortress. The walls inside contain a church, a bakery, living quarters, cells, and a courtyard. Tourists can also explore the military museum and watch military ceremonies like canon demonstrations during their visit. Located in Cape Town, the fort originally stood along the coastline, but is now situated inland following land reclamation.
