Another city that is able to impress with the abundance of colours on its streets is Cape Town, more precisely, its historical district Bo-Cap. Today, this residential area of Cape Town is considered a real open-air museum, and all due to amazing colorful houses. The district acquired its present appearance quite recently. Local people began painting their houses in the 90s of the last century. Such changes happened due to the long-awaited end of apartheid. The appearance of the historical district is unique and is a symbolic reminder of an important event in the history of Cape Town.
In the colorful area of Bo-Cap there are several important attractions. Besides colorful villas, tourists will have an opportunity to see the beautiful Nurul Islam mosque, which was built in 1844. In addition, an old chocolate factory continues to operate in the district, so it will be interesting for lovers of sweets to stroll along the bright streets. Despite the variety of colors, Bo-Kap has a very quiet and calming atmosphere, it is a peculiar city within a city with its own unique cultural traditions.
In some historic villas today there are small shops and cozy cafes, which makes a walk around the area even more interesting. It is also worth noting that the Bo-Cape district is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Cape Town, on the slope of the Signal Mountain, so some of the squares offer a chic panoramic view of the surroundings. Today, immigrants from Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and other countries live in the most colorful area of Cape Town, so the area is interesting not only for its architecture, but also for its special cultural traditions.
