Pretoria's Historic Church Square
A statue of 19th-century president S. J. Paulus Kruger stands in Church Square, the historical center of Pretoria. Pretoria is located north of Johannesburg in Gauteng Province, South Africa. The square is just off Church Street, which at a length of 26 kilometers (16 miles) is one of the longest straight avenues in the world. Pretoria is home to a number of embassies, military offices, and educational institutions, as well as museums and national historical sites.
