City Plate - Cape Town

Famous for its harbor, Cape Town is the oldest city in South Africa and one of the most multicultural cities in the world.  The emergence of Cape Town was a result of its strategic location on the trade route between Europe and Asia, where it served as an outpost to resupply ships on their journey.  Consequently, the city has been a major destination for immigrants and expatriates to South Africa.  The legacy of all this migration is a rich tapestry of cultures from around the world that is still evident today.
