About Grahamstown
Grahamstown, officially renamed Makhanda in 2018, is a city steeped in the complex tapestry of South African history. Founded as a military outpost to secure the eastern frontier of the Cape Colony, it evolved into a major administrative and religious center for British settlers. This legacy is etched into its very fabric, with national monuments, museums, and one of the densest concentrations of heritage buildings in the country. The city is famously the home of Rhodes University, a leading academic institution that infuses the town with a dynamic, youthful population and a thriving intellectual and arts scene. Culturally, Grahamstown is synonymous with the National Arts Festival, the largest arts festival on the African continent, which transforms the city into a pulsating hub of creativity every winter. Beyond the festival, it's known for its cathedral, its role in the Anglo-Boer and Anglo-Zulu wars, and as a center for the Albany region. The main districts are essentially the historic city center, the university campus area, and the surrounding suburban hills. It's a city best explored on foot, where every corner reveals a piece of history, from the Observatory Museum with its Victorian camera obscura to the solemn 1820 Settlers National Monument overlooking the city.
