Constitution Hill
Constitution Hill in Johannesburg, South Africa, is a significant historical and cultural landmark that serves as a symbol of the country's journey toward democracy. Formerly a notorious prison complex where both political activists and ordinary criminals were held, it includes several key sites such as the Old Fort, the Women's Jail, and the Number Four jail for black male prisoners. Today, Constitution Hill is home to the Constitutional Court of South Africa, the highest court in the country, which upholds the rights and freedoms enshrined in the South African Constitution. The site also serves as a museum and heritage precinct, offering exhibitions and educational programs that reflect on the struggle for freedom and human rights.
