Church Square
Situated in the centre of the city, it is the focal point of the administrative capital of South Africa. The large open space, formed part if the original survey of Pretoria by Andries Francios du Toit, whose map bears the date 2 March 1859.
The name derives from the fact that Reverent Dirk van der Hoff established a congregation there in 1854. After Pretoria had became the seat of the Transvaal government in 1860 important Government buildings were erected round the square such as the government Building, often refferd to as the ‘Raadzaal’ and the Palace of Justice opposite. Today there is a lot of restaurants and shops.
In the middle of the square is the President Kruger statue, designed by Anton van Wouw, guarded by four bronze statues representing burghers of the Kruger regime. The twenty six kilometre Church Street, which is one of the longest straight street in the world, runs through the square.
