Round Tower, Cape Town

Round Tower, Cape Town

A view of a replica Irish Round Tower located in the Philippi area of the Flats region near Cape Town in South Africa.

James Kelly, an Irish Catholic missionary. The tower was a noted landmark in the Cape Flats district and acted as a focal point for annual St. Patrick’s Day’s festivities for Cape Town’s Irish community with the spire bedecked with national colours. The tower was demolished in 1978.
