At the heart of Pretoria, Church Square is surrounded by imposing public buildings. These include the Palace of Justice , where the Rivonia Trial that sentenced Nelson Mandela to life imprisonment was held, on the northern side; the OuRaadsaal (Old Government) building on the southern side; the Old Capitol Theatre in the northwestern corner; First National Bank in the northeast; the Old Nederlandsche Bank building , which adjoins Café Riche and houses the tourist information centre; and the main post office on the western side.
Old Lion (Paul Kruger) takes pride of place in the centre, surveying his miniature kingdom.
