1820 Settlers National Monument, National monument on Gunfire Hill in Makhanda, South Africa.
The 1820 Settlers National Monument stands on an elevated position, providing views across the Eastern Cape landscape through its architectural design.
Established in 1967 and rebuilt after a fire in 1994, the monument honors British settlers who arrived in the Eastern Cape region during 1820.
The Guy Butler Theatre within the monument hosts numerous performances during the National Arts Festival, connecting visitors with South African arts.
