Not very far from Port Elizabeth, is the historic town of
Grahamstown with other equal historical towns in its vicinity - Bathurst, Port
Alfred and Salem.
Established in 1812 as military outpost, and later as a
village and trading centre for the 1820 British Settlers, Grahamtown’s most
prominent landmark is the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. George which took
128 years to build.
There is also the 1820 Settlers Monument, the Methodist
Commemoration Church, with its Gothic Revival facade, and the City Hall built
in 1870 as a memorial to the 1820 settlers.
Other places of interest are the Albany Museum, the Settlers
Wild Flower Reserve and Fort Selwyn.
