Bo Kaap is a neighborhood on the edge of Cape Town’s city center and is known for it’s colorful, semi-detached houses. Bo Kaap’s residents are largely descendants of slaves that were imported by the Dutch in the 1700s from Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. Because of this, the neighborhood is mostly Muslim and has colorful mosques as well.
Love it! There seems to always be a very colorful section of homes wherever I travel.
wow, what vibrant colors! I want THAT for my future house!
Sofia,
There is an entire neighborhood of these charming and vibrantly painted houses. I’m sure you can find one for sale ;)
