Rhodes Memorial
This memorial on Devil’s Peak pairs broad views of Cape Town with the history of Cecil John Rhodes. It is a viewpoint with difficult colonial context, best approached as both landscape and monument.
Why go
Herbert Baker designed the memorial for Rhodes on the lower slopes of Devil’s Peak. From here the city, Cape Flats and Atlantic coastline spread out below; the formal stone monument sits within Table Mountain National Park, where the surrounding terrain invites a longer walk.
What to look for
The monument frames a view over Cape Town and the Cape Flats.
Devil’s Peak rises behind the memorial.
The Atlantic coastline is visible from the site.
Useful to know
Combine the viewpoint with a planned walk on Devil’s Peak if conditions suit.
Check current park access before travelling to the memorial.
