Great monument in the center of Kimberly. Specially for history fanatics.

Beautiful Herbert Baker example. As impressive as it is poignant. The canon on front is called "Long Cecil" and was made in the mining workshop to defend the town against the Boers. Look for the lathe turning marks on the barrel. Pity about the graffiti.

We held our 15 year club MMA anniversary in Kimberley and held a parade at the Monument.

We need to do better! Hardly a way to remember the dead. Graffiti and run down. Sadly we just took a pic from afar.

A magnificent sight to behold with a striking presence as one approaches from any of the directions leading to the intersection. Unsurprisingly vandalised very badly (few respect history in RSA), but yet, a must see. This canon, commissioned by Cecil John Rhodes, was constructed by mineworkers for use against the Boers during the (in)famous “Siege of Kimberly” during the Second Anglo Boer War. A piece of history which we should look after much better than we have so far.

Interesting monument at a major roundabout. It was designed by famous Architect Sir Herbert Baker at the request of Cecil John Rhodes to honour those who died to defend Kimberley during the Siege of Kimberley and was completed around 1902.

Nice and clean at niggmht

Impressive classical architecture.

This memorial has a lot, it has always been a wonderful spot for photos for me and my friends. It's a must be place, just to snap a few pics😄😄🤞

The beauty of the monument is ruined by the lack of maintenance and care. COME ON KIMBERLEY. YOU CAN DO BETTER

Very good.Honouring the soldiers and their families.Remember them always.

Yet another monument reflecting the diamond struggle and life lost,

Beautiful heritage site in Kimberley

Needs a garden around the memorial or a couple of creepers to make it green. Great architecture though. Now the merging of five roads, but once, the siege of Kimberley.

Such lovely memorial. But, people don't keep it neat, clean.
