Rhodes Memorial on Devil's Peak in Cape Town , South Africa, is a memorial to English-born, South African politician Cecil John Rhodes . The memorial was designed by the renowned architect, Sir Herbert Baker . The memorial is situated at Rhodes's favourite spot on the lower slopes of Devil's Peak. Rhodes's own wooden bench is still situated below the memorial. The magnificent view facing north-east can be imagined as the start of the Cape to Cairo road, Rhodes's imperial dream of a British colonial Africa which had Rhodes as one of its greatest champions. Rhodes owned vast areas of the lower slopes of Table Mountain, most of which he gave to the nation on his death.
