Freedom Park, History museum and memorial in Pretoria, South Africa.

The Freedom Park spans 52 hectares at Salvokop hill and includes a memorial wall, an interactive museum, and gardens with indigenous plants.

The memorial opened in 2004 to commemorate South Africans who died in conflicts, from pre-colonial wars through the struggle against apartheid.

The museum features exhibits about African creation stories, colonial periods, industrialization, nationalism, and the path toward democracy in South Africa.

Visitors can explore the site through guided tours, access educational programs, and participate in commemoration ceremonies throughout the year.

The Wall of Names contains over 75,000 engravings of individuals who died during eight major conflicts in South African history.
