Constitution Hill, Johannesburg, Former prison complex in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, South Africa

Constitution Hill is a former prison complex in Braamfontein that comprises the Old Fort, Number Four prison, Women's Jail, and the Constitutional Court of South Africa. The site combines multiple buildings from different periods, ranging from Victorian structures to contemporary architecture, together documenting the country's political transformation.

The original prison was built in 1892 to hold white male prisoners; Paul Kruger built the Old Fort around it from 1896 to 1899 against British invasion, and the British later imprisoned Boer leaders there. A women's section was added in 1907 and an awaiting-trial block in the 1920s. The site held prisoners until 1983, was declared a National Monument in 1964, and the Constitutional Court's first session in its new building took place in February 2004.

The court's doors are carved with the words "Constitutional Court of South Africa" in all eleven official languages, and the building stands on the site of the old prison's awaiting-trial block, whose bricks were reused in its construction. Outside, the Flame of Democracy was lit on 10 December 2011, the 15th anniversary of the signing of the constitution.

The site is walkable with clear signage between the different buildings. Visiting on a weekday is recommended when more exhibitions and activities are accessible and crowds are smaller.

The court's art collection of more than 200 contemporary works was selected by Constitutional Court judge Albie Sachs and includes pieces by Gerard Sekoto, William Kentridge and Cecil Skotnes. The building itself reuses bricks from the demolished awaiting-trial wing of Number Four prison, while the old prison stairwells were kept and built into the new structure.
