Constitutional Hill

Constitution Hill is a living museum that tells the story of South Africa’s journey to democracy. Once a notorious prison and military fort, it bears witness to the country’s tumultuous past, where political activists, including Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi, were once incarcerated. Today, the site has been transformed into a beacon of justice, serving as the home of South Africa’s Constitutional Court, which upholds and protects the rights of all citizens. Through its exhibits, tours and public engagements, Constitution Hill offers a powerful reflection on resilience, human rights and the nation’s ongoing commitment to justice.
