联合大厦,坐落于南非首都比勒陀利亚的最高点,犹如一座现代阿克罗波利斯古庙,宛若统治之城的守望者,是南非政府的官方驻地,也是总统办公所在地。这座大厦由著名建筑师赫伯特·贝克尔(Sir Herbert Baker)于1908年设计,1909年开工,历时将近三年、动用约1265名工匠、工人及劳工于1913年完工。大厦的建设耗资巨大,仅内部办公室墙面便使用了1400万块砖,外加50万立方英尺的自由石、7.4万立方码的混凝土、4万袋水泥和2万立方英尺的花岗岩。联合大厦不仅是当时南非乃至南半球最大的建筑工程,更是南非历史的奢华一页,最初建造目的是为南非联邦公共服务整体提供办公场所。设计时,贝克尔为了体现两种官方语言的平等,设想了两个相同的长方形办公楼翼楼,通过一个半圆形连接翼楼相联,中间空地被夷为平地,形成一个希腊式的圆形剧场,用以举办国家和仪式性的重要聚会。为了尊重使用南非本土材料的原则,大厦的地基采用花岗岩,而外墙、圆形剧场和主要庭院则使用了风化石。大厦的设计融合了意大利文艺复兴时期的新古典主义建筑风格,英国文艺复兴以及开普荷兰式的细节元素,如雕刻的主入口和风车窗,以及许多小区域内的锻铁黄铜工艺和栏杆。1994年,联合大厦见证了南非历史新篇章的开启,它庆祝了前总统纳尔逊·曼德拉的就职典礼,他是南非第一位民主选举产生的总统,标志着南非历史上一个新时代的开始。

    Nice spot to walk around and enjoy the garden scenery. Plenty of parking along the main road. The Nelson Mandela status is well worth a stop.

    it's a nice area to have a cute picnic, i enjoyed my time there a lot, my only issue was the incredible amount of litter that was not attended to because people didn't make use of the bins provided.

    Went there on 12 June 2023. It is such a beautiful and historical place. Such a pity that some individuals decided to remove the metal plaques. I found the garden very beautiful, and although not 100% maintained, it was an epic experience. There is an unofficial "Khoisan Embassy" on the premises but I didn't bother to interact as they were strict on taking photos without consent and some of the untold stories were actually disturbing. We weren't allowed to enter the actual building, for reasons unknown. There is enough ground for a picnic but I don't think it is entirely safe to sit by oneself. Some dodgy people walking on the premises.
