Constitution Hill, Johannesburg, Former prison complex in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, South Africa
Constitution Hill spans multiple buildings that include the Old Fort, Number Four prison, Women's Jail, and the Constitutional Court of South Africa.
The prison facilities held both Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi during different periods of South Africa's political struggle against discrimination.
The Constitutional Court building incorporates bricks from the demolished Awaiting Trial Block, connecting the physical structure to South Africa's path toward democracy.
Guided tours operate Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with Saturday hours from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at 11 Kotze Street.
The court chamber features artworks and architectural elements from all nine provinces of South Africa, representing national unity through design.
