Iziko Slave Lodge
Iziko Slave Lodge (49 Adderly Street, corner of Wale Street, Cape Town) — this Cape Town museum was originally built in 1679 as the slave lodge of the Dutch East India Company. Today, has become a permanent museum of slavery. The Iziko Slave Lodge documents the Cape’s role in the Indian Ocean slave trade route, where slaves were brought to the Cape from Indonesia, India-Ceylon, Madagascar and Mozambique. At the same time, this Cape Town museum pays tribute to those who were forgotten, denied and stigmatized through slavery. Admission: free. Hours: 10 am – 5 pm (Monday – Saturday). Closed on Sundays.
