Nelson Mandela Square - Johannesburg

Nelson Mandela Square is part of a big complex which includes very fancy hotels and a huge shopping mall, Sandton City.

On the square there are mostly fancy and expensive restaurants but there is also one of the branches of Johannesburg Public Library.


The library is the building with the pyramid shaped window on top of the entrance way. It is quite a big branch of the library, it  might be the biggest one but I am not sure.
 I cannot imagine how many pictures are being taken everyday of Nelson Mandela's statue. To be honest the statue unfortunately has no artistic value, but then again it really does not need to, it stands for something else all together.
