Cape Town Landmark: the Western Province Government Building


Spotted! The Western Cape Provincial Government building, towering over its much prettier neighbor, the St. George’s Cathedral.

Where is it? At the junction of Wale and Burg Sts., Cape Town CBD | Map

What is it? It’s the head office of the Western Cape’s government - the site of the provincial administration.

Who’s inside? Western Cape Premier Ebrahim Rasool, for one.

Why would I ever go there? I can’t think of the first reason, to be frank. But a good tip for visitors is that a walk through the building - that is, via the road that proceeds underneath its high arches - makes for a great shortcut between St. George’s Mall and Long Street.

What’s nearby? St. George’s Mall and Cathedral, Greenmarket Square, the Company’s Gardens, and the Cape High Court.
