This observatory is a fundamental part of South Africa’s long history of astronomical research, which began when French academic Nicolas-Louis de La Caille visited Cape Town from 1751 to 1753.

The Royal Observatory, Cape Town of Good Hope (today the South African Astronomical Observatory) was established in 1820.
