Prominently situated on Paarl Mountain, to the west of the town center (reached by way of Jan Philips Mountain Drive), is the 57m/187ft high Taal Monument. The design of the monument, which was inaugurated in 1975, was the work of the architect Jan van Wyk and the writers C. J. Langenhoven and N. P. van Wyk Louw. It symbolizes the contributions made by Africa, the Netherlands and Britain to the development of the Afrikaans language. From the monument there are fine panoramic views.
