DescriptionPort Elizabeth Route 67 campanile and word bricks.JPG	English: Route 67 is a vehicle for continuing the Urban Renewal of Central Port Elizabeth and simultaneously educating citizens and tourists on our struggle history and the cultural and historic significance to different ethnic communities whose roots are found here, of sites along the way. The focus has been to use public art, incorporating social transformation and capacity building of local artists. It has encompassed the restoration and ongoing protection of several of Port Elizabeth’s national monuments and heritage sites, which were under serious threat from urban decay, with the walk through 67 artworks along a heritage trail from the Campanile up to the Donkin, and then up Belmont Terrace and Bird Street to the Art Museum, with nodes at South End and Red Location museums and in Uitenhage. This media shows a South African Protected Site with SAHRA file reference NEW.

Several large restoration projects are taking place along this route, and route 67 and its artworks are the spine that links them all together. The 67 Public Art Works intertwined with heritage sites along the route symbolise Nelson Mandela’s 67 years of work dedicated to the Freedom of South Africa and includes 67 steps leading up to the second largest flag in Africa. The artworks were designed by local artists from the Eastern Cape. The route is a proud celebration of our city’s heritage and history.

Although individual sites along the route have already been declared National Monuments, notably the Campanile, Donkin Reserve and Athenaeum Club, all of which were in a sad state of neglect, by declaring the entire route as a heritage precinct (in much the same way as has been done for those parts of Bo-Kaap not individually declared, SAHRA no 9/2/018/0008 ) it will be possible to protect not only the individual sites, but to keep the whole precinct in a viable condition that ensures that its ongoing importance is recognised.
