It was originally called the Cape of Good Hope by the Portuguese - Bartholmu Dias who landed there in 1600. The Dutch East India Company used it as a 'pit stop' and refueling station as part of their spice route, being placed almost halfway between Europe and the orient. The Dutch built a pentagon shaped building called "The castle" which still stands in Cape Town today, this fort housed the company gardens (the fruit and vegetable gardens used by its merchant navey) .
