The Castle of Good Hope is a 17th-century fort in central Cape Town with courtyards and museum rooms. Its interior gives a closer encounter with Cape colonial history than the exterior alone.

Courtyards and museum rooms make Cape Town’s 17th-century fort more than an exterior landmark. Explore inside to encounter its colonial-era history, checking whether a scheduled tour fits your visit. The courtyards and galleries make the structure readable as a working historical site, rather than only a familiar shape on the city skyline.
