The Voortrekker Monument is located just south of Pretoria in South Africa. This massive granite structure is prominently located on a hilltop and was raised to commemorate the Voortrekkers who left the Cape Colony between 1835 and 1854. On 8 July 2011 the Voortrekker Monument designed by the architect Gerard Moerdijk was declared a National Heritage Site by the South African Heritage Resource Agency.
