Prince Albert is well known for its stunning natural beauty, the famous Swartberg pass and the fascinating 150-year-old heritage of this small town. The landscape around Prince Albert tells a million stories of the people that lived here, their humble beginnings and the treasures they uncovered. And as history will show, treasures can be very fruitful indeed.

If we had to pick a favourite day of the week, it would probably be Sunday. Why? Because on Sundays we like to get people together to reflect on the week that has passed over a hearty Sunday roast.

The town of Prince Albert in the Karoo is a historical gem and tourists from (literally) all over the world come to visit the many national monuments around this little town. There is one particular monument that is arguably the most famous of all, but to visit this monument, you would have to go on an epic journey.

If you have ever visited a national monument you will probably have experienced that feeling of nostalgia that comes with standing in a place with such significance.
