Arch Of Arch monument at the beginning of Government Avanue. Walking along Government Avenue.Cape Town. Interesting places passing through Cape Town on the way to Table Mountain Arch for Arch is a striking monument in honour of Archbishop Desmond Tutu that was unveiled on 7 October 2017 on the Archbishop's 86th birthday. He is recognised worldwide for his tireless work in building the new South Africa, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984. Monument is made of carefully bent wood with the 14 "strands" of the structure inscribed with excerpts from South Africa's Constitution.

The park is great. Saw tons of squirrels and Egyptian geese. Interesting historical landmarks such as Cecil John Rhodes statue and of course the Arch and St George's Cathedral. A great pity that there are so many vagrants and hobo's lurking around. Surely these people can be removed by the police. Felt very uncomfortable. The cathedral was interesting and access was easy. Just a pity that there were no tourist guides to give a bit of the history of the area. Nevertheless it was fairly pleasant.

Beautiful serene place. Beautiful and well planned and tended gardens. Great library right behind it. Free wifi at the arch for arch. The arch itself is the main entrance to a walkway with few pretty traders plying their goods. It is surrounded by a series of written notes as a reminder of what and who South Africa is. A museum of some sort next to the arch. Stature of the Cecil Rhodes in the library garden

It was a sombre epoch. A sobering period and moment in life and all our lives as SAfricans and the world. I thank God for the opportunity of paying my last respects to The Arch, Archbishop Desmond Mpilo Tutu, with young and older members of my family. One of our greatest memories that we create.

Pictures dont do justice however if you're looking for an afternoon stroll I would highly reccomend this stop. Not very safe in the evening unless it is the annual summer market or an event. #CompanyGardens #ArchforArch
