Limestone Quarry on Robben Island, where the political prisoners worked
This is the famous limestone quarry where the political prisoners worked during the day. The cave is where their tools were stored at the end of each day. The tower at the top was actually a World War II observation tower. The small pile of stones in the middle of the quarry was stacked by ex-prisoners when they visited the island to commemorate their stay... the pile of stones has been preserved in this state since that day.
