The park and heritage site was originally established in the early 1650s by the European Settlers arriving in the area.

The Gardens now offer a natural retreat from the bustle of the City.
After your stroll through the serene Company Gardens, make your way to the Wale Street end of gardens where the iconic »Arch» monument stands. The monument was created to commemorate the life and work of Desmond Tutu – lovingly referred to by South Africans as »The Arch» – as well as a tribute to the values of the South African Constitution. The Arch was installed beside the historic St. George’s Cathedral which is also know as the »People’s Cathedral» for its role in the resistance against the Apartheid Regime.
Alongside the iconic Arch, stands the historical Slave Lodge which is one of the oldest buildings in Cape Town. Built in 1679 by the Dutch East India Company, the building was initially used as housing for over 9000 slaves, convicts and the mentally ill up until the early 1800s when the building was converted into government offices. The building was restored in 1960 for use as a cultural history museum but was only officially renamed as The Slave Lodge in 1998. Today the historical building houses an array of exhibits that address the controversial and deeply ingrained history of slavery in South Africa.
