The somewhat phallic Taal Monument is in the Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve. The giant, needle-like edifice commemorates the language (taal is Afrikaans for ‘language’). On a clear day there are stunning views as far as Cape Town. There’s also an adjoining restaurant and curio shop. If you're here when it's a full moon, join locals for a night-time picnic.
It's 3km from the main road. Follow signs from Flambeau St.
