Liliesleaf Farm, Historical resistance site in Rivonia, South Africa
The farm complex contains several restored buildings, original meeting rooms, and exhibition spaces documenting South Africa's fight against apartheid.
In July 1963, police raided this farm headquarters, leading to the arrest of African National Congress leaders and the subsequent Rivonia Trial.
The site maintains collections of resistance artifacts, including the original Freedom Charter document and personal items from anti-apartheid activists.
The museum requires advance reservations for guided tours, which take approximately two hours to explore the buildings and exhibition areas.
Nelson Mandela lived at this farm under the false identity of David Motsamayi while coordinating resistance activities in the early 1960s.
