Greenmarket Square and Art Deco buildings behind © Greenmarket Square, Cape Town
Greenmarket Square, located neatly in Cape Town's CBD, is one of the city's oldest and most vibrant public spaces. Established in 1696, the square was originally used as a marketplace where fresh produce was sold by the first settlers. Over time, it has transformed into a lively hub for local art, crafts, and culture, making it a must-visit for tourists and locals alike.
History: During the colonial period, Greenmarket Square served as a slave market and later became a hub for traders selling everything from vegetables to household items. As Cape Town developed, the square evolved into a space for political demonstrations, public gatherings, and events. The architecture surrounding the square reflects its rich history, with notable buildings like the Old Town House, which houses a collection of Dutch Golden Age art.
Declared a national monument in 1961. In the 1980s, Greenmarket Square became synonymous with anti-apartheid protests, where many activists gathered to voice their opposition to the regime. Today, the square is a vibrant flea market where vendors sell a variety of items, including African curios, handmade crafts, jewelry, clothing, and artwork, attracting both tourists and locals looking for unique gifts and souvenirs.
Atmosphere and Surroundings: Greenmarket Square is surrounded by cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops, offering visitors a chance to relax and enjoy the bustling atmosphere. The square’s cobblestone layout and lively energy give it a European feel, while the sounds of street performers add to the cultural experience.
Greenmarket Square remains an integral part of Cape Town’s social and historical fabric, offering visitors a glimpse into the city's past while enjoying a vibrant market experience.
