Constitutional Court

These are the doors – almost 2 stories high – into the Constitutional Court in South Africa. The Court – equivalent to the Supreme Court in the US – is built on the site of an old apartheid-era court and prison. The bricks used in the main courtroom are from that prison. I wasn’t allowed a camera inside, but these doors are hand carved and represent the 27 rights guaranteed in the bill of rights. They’re written in the eleven official languages of the country.
