The map
Pretoria, part of the City of Tshwane, is South Africa's administrative capital and the seat of the executive. The city lies in a valley between east–west ridges, which gives its map a clear horizontal structure: a dense grid on the valley floor, and lines of hills to the north and south that the roads cross through narrow passes.
Church Square marks the historic centre, a large open square from which the original grid extends in all directions. To the east, the Union Buildings, designed by Herbert Baker, sit on Meintjieskop in terraced gardens overlooking the city. The Apies River runs north through the centre, and eastern suburbs such as Hatfield and Brooklyn spread over gentle slopes.
Pretoria is widely known as the Jacaranda City for the thousands of trees that turn its streets purple each spring. South of the centre, the Voortrekker Monument stands on a hilltop. A Pretoria map poster shows how the ridges frame the city and how its colonial grid gives way to leafy suburbs in every direction.

Set on Meintjieskop above the city, the Union Buildings and their gardens form a distinct curved shape against the regular blocks below.
Long east–west ridges cross the map as bands where streets thin out, with roads threading through gaps toward the northern and southern suburbs.

Why Pretoria
Pretoria is home to students, diplomats, civil servants and families who have been there for generations. A map of its valley, ridges and jacaranda-lined suburbs is a clear and elegant way to mark that connection on a wall.
