About Hotels in Rhodes Memorial!
Rhodes Memorial is a monument situated atop the slopes of Devil's Peak just outside Cape Town in South Africa. The memorial was built at the bequest of Cecil John Rhodes and was completed in 1912. It is situated on what used to be part of his estate and overlooks the University of Cape Town campus, where Rhodes Road is named after him.
The memorial consists of a large stone plinth, surrounded by four huge granite lions, each representing one of the four provinces that make up South Africa at the time (Cape Colony, Natal Colony, Transvaal Colony and Orange Free State). On top of this plinth sits a bronze bust of Rhodes facing westwards towards Table Bay with an inscription reading: "CEASAR RIDERS AMBITION WAS THAT THIS COUNTRY SHOULD BEAN ENGLISH COUNTRY".
The monument itself is constructed from white sandstone quarried from nearby Wynberg Hill and bears several inscriptions including excerpts from English poet Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem Ulysses. The memorial includes various gardens which have been maintained since the early 1900s and are filled with indigenous flora such as proteas, ericas and heaths.
It has been designated as an important site by Heritage Western Cape and forms part of the City Bowl National Park. Visitors can access it via two walking trails - one leading to Table Mountain National Park via Rhodes Drive or Castle Rock Road which runs alongside it - or alternatively take a cable car up to the summit for a great view over Cape Town. The memorial is open daily from sunrise until sunset and serves as an important cultural landmark for locals as well as tourists alike - offering not only spectacular views but also insight into South African history.
