Union Buildings

Pretoria’s Union Buildings, the official seat of the national government, house the offices of the South African president and are located atop the Meintjieskop. An important South African heritage site, the impressive building is surrounded by pretty terraced gardens that offer panoramic views over the city. The Union Buildings are one of the most recognisable and impressive heritage sights in the city. The 285m-long sandstone building was designed by Sir Herbert Baker in 1910 to mark the Union of South Africa.

Church Square

Church Square in central Pretoria was the site of the city’s first church, built in 1855. During its early years, the square was used as a marketplace and sports field and today is the grandest civic square in the city and among the great attractions in Gauteng. For visitors who adore 19th century and early 20th century architecture, Church Square is one of the must-see places to visit in Gauteng. The square is surrounded by historical buildings in varying neo-classical architectural styles, including the impressive Palace of Justice where former president Nelson Mandela and several of his comrades were tried and charged for treason during the infamous Rivonia Trial, the Old Capitol Theatre and the Ou Raadsaal (Old Government) building.
