Statue of Jan van Riebeeck

A statue of Maria van Riebeeck (née de la Que(i)llerie) stands alongside that of her husband, Jan van Riebeeck, in a roundabout on Heerengracht Street in Cape Town, South Africa. It was a gift by the Netherlands to the people of South Africa to commemorate the first settlement of the Cape of Good Hope. On 2 October 1954, Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld, husband of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, unveiled the statue in front of the Iziko South African National Gallery in Company's Garden. In 1969, the statue was moved to its current location. The statue depicts Maria de la Queillerie's stately figure with a serious expression. She wears a circular collar and a wide skirt hangs from her cosseted waist. A coif keeps her hair out of her eyes. She carries a fruit basket in her left arm and a bouquet of flowers in her right hand, hinting at her interest in gardening and produce growing for the Cape refreshment station. There is no reasonably confirmed image of Maria de la Queillerie from her lifetime. The sculptor, Dirk Wolbers, is said to have therefore used his own wife as a model, in what was to be the last sculpture of his career. It was cast in bronze in Paris.

1 Thibault Square, formally known as the LG Building and originally known as the "BP Centre", is a 126.5-metre (415 ft) modernist skyscraper on the European-style Thibault Square at the end of St George's Mall, Cape Town, South Africa.Work on the building began in 1969 and was completed in 1972. As of 2019 it is the second tallest building in Cape Town. The 34-degree diagonal twist, which puts it on a north–south axis, reduces sun loads on the façades, thereby reducing pressure on the air-conditioning system. To further shield the façades, a pre-cast screen is mounted on every floor, allowing good air flow and cutting off direct sun rays. This unique orientation also means that all the offices have views of either the mountain or the harbour, and that none stare straight into the façades of the surrounding buildings.At 11:55pm on October 1989 a bomb exploded outside the building causing no casualties or injuries.In 2006 the building was sold along with two other office buildings in Cape Town for R300 million and was at the time the largest Grade A commercial property in the city.Flanked by John Skotness' Mythological Landscape steel-and-bronze sculpture, the piazza below is a popular public space for office workers and visitors to the city. The building provides a focal point for Thibault Square.In 2008 the building was acknowledged in a national survey by the South African Institute of Architects to be one of the country's "good buildings".
