Old Colonial Houses of the Cape of Good Hope - BY Batsford 062020012X

Old colonial houses of the Cape of Good Hope often feature a distinctive Cape Dutch style, characterized by gabled roofs, whitewashed walls, and an emphasis on symmetrical design, as seen in prominent buildings like the Castle of Good Hope. The Castle of Good Hope is the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa and was the center of colonial power, while the vibrant, colorful homes of the Bo-Kaap district also represent this colonial history, with their bright paint colors having a unique backstory related to freedom of expression.
