Union Buildings

The neoclassical Union Buildings, designed in 1908, stand as a symbol of South Africa’s governmental presence in Pretoria. Crafted from sandstone, the two wings represent the Afrikaners and English people, connected by a central courtyard. Although the interior is not open to the public, visitors can explore the well-maintained gardens and admire the statues that dot the landscape. The expansive grounds offer a serene setting for reflection and a glimpse into the country’s political history.
