Legend of "The Palace of the Lost City" - South Africa

 

     The Palace of the Lost City is an extraordinary fantasy stemming from a North African legend. The legend tells us that a tribe from an ancient civilization of Africa brought their proud traditions of mighty architecture, luxurious hospitality and love of nature to an ancient volcanic crater that they called the Valley of the Sun in South Africa. Here they built a palace which was destroyed by an earthquake. Hence the name The Palace of the Lost City. Today, the legend has come to life again and The Palace has been rebuilt in the magnificent surrounds of South Africa.
