This beautiful old stone building is the main police station at Modimolle in Limpopo province. According to the commander Jan Koekemoer it was built during the Second World War by Italian prisoners of war. The stone is the local "Nylstroom sandstone" dressed to precision by the Italians and some of the original wooden floors and rafting is still in use. Look at the picture of the arch to see the quality of work that was done here.
