The majestic Voortrekker Monument is situated in the northern part of South Africa in the Pretoria (Tshwane) region in a nature reserve. It is a unique Monument which commemorates the Pioneer history of Southern Africa and the history of the Afrikaner and is situated in a beautiful setting.
The Voortrekker Monument was inaugurated in 1949. This Art Deco building was designed by architect Gerard Moerdijk and is regarded as his magnum opus . It is one of Africa's largest Monuments.
In the Hall of Heroes is the world’s longest historical bas-relief marble frieze. A tapestry with more than three million stitches is housed in the Cenotaph Hall. Both of these artworks depict the history of the Voortrekkers on the Great Trek which took place from 1835 to 1854.
