Bhisho - Top Attractions
Bhisho boasts a number of interesting historical and heritage attractions:
The Eastern Cape Legislature buildings constitute the legislative nerve centre of the province.
A monument commemorating the Bhisho Massacre, in which 29 people died in the early 1990s, lies adjacent to the Bhisho Stadium between King William’s Town and Bhisho.
The variety of architecture evident in the largely administrative centre of the sprawling town bears testimony to its relatively recent construction as the first capital of the Bantustan of Ciskei.
The newly-constructed and imposing House of Traditional Leaders of the province lies adjacent to the attractive municipal buildings and the Supreme Court buildings.
The area boasts opportunities for recreational fresh-water fishing and bird-watching on both public and private land, with scenic views of the Amatola Mountains in the distance.
