These pictures were all taken around Die Braak (Eng ‘Fallow Land’), the Stellenbosch village town square dating back to the late 1700s. The buildings are good examples of Cape Dutch architecture. In the first picture there are slave bells on visible on the right (yes, the Dutch had slaves in The Cape. It was finally abolished in 1834 after revolts from the slave-owners). I stand in front of Die Kruithuis (Eng. The Ammunition House), and the church is St Mary’s Cathedral.
