Port Elizabeth Central Travel Guide

Gqeberha

I like this city.
I like this city.
The front facade is pretty darn impressive. I wish it was still open by the time I took this photo.
It's simple, but I love the architecture.
The Donkin Reserve, Pyramid and Lighthouse includes a Stone Pyramid Monument with a touching inscription erected by Sir Rufane Donkin in memory of his late wife, Elizabeth, after whom the city was named, as well as palm-lined walkways and benches.
