The Voortrekker Monument is a monument that is situated in the city of Pretoria, South Africa. The massive granite structure, built to honour the Voortrekkers (Pioneers) who left the Cape Colony in their thousands between 1835 and 1854, was designed by the architect Gerard Moerdijk who had the ideal to design a "monument that would stand a thousands of years to describe the history and the meaning of the Great Trek to its descendants". It can be seen from almost any location in the city, where it is seated on top of a hill.

At 115 000 m², Menlyn Park is Pretoria's largest shopping centre. It houses the usual spread of big-name retailers to be found in most of South Africa's major malls, and is Pretoria's most prestigious and popular shopping centre.

The centre includes an events arena for the staging of big events, and a drive-in, which was the first of its kind, situated on the roof of the parking lot. Menlyn Park is owned by Old Mutual Properties and is a sister centre to Gateway in Durban.

Church Square is the historic centre of the city of Pretoria, South Africa.

Its most prominent feature is the statue of the Boer leader and president of the South African Republic Paul Kruger at its centre. Statues of four anonymous Boer citizen-soldiers surround that of Kruger's on a lower level of the plinth.

Several historically and architecturally significant buildings surround the square: the Palace of Justice, the Old Capitol Theatre, the Tudor Chambers, the Ou Raadsaal (Old Council Chamber) and the General Post Office, which was designed by John Cleland.

The turreted Palace of Justice was the scene of arguably the most famous political trial in South Africa's history, the Rivonia Trial. During this trial, Nelson Mandela and a number of other prominent liberation struggle figures were charged with treason and subsequently incarcerated.

The Union Buildings form the official seat of the South African government and also house the offices of the President of South Africa. The imposing buildings sit on Meintjies Kop and overlook Pretoria.

These buildings, built from light sandstone, were designed by the architect Sir Herbert Baker in the English monumental style and are 275 m long. They have a semi-circular shape, with the two wings at the sides, this serve to represent the union of a formerly divided people (see the talk page). The east and west wings represent two languages, English and Afrikaans. These buildings are considered by many to be the architect's greatest achievement and a South African architectural masterpiece.
