It was the Dutch who first established a settlement on the cape in 1652 for the purpose of providing support to ships travelling to the Dutch East Indies. After several skirmishes, Cape Town was ceded to Britain in 1814. It was the discovery of diamonds and gold that led to prosperity for the region throughout the nineteenth century. When Britain created the Union of South Africa in 1910, Cape Town was made the legislative capital – a position which the city currently holds for the nation's republic. For visitors, Cape Town provides stunning coastal scenery and spectacular natural beauty.
Cruise ships dock at the port in Table Bay.
