The cultural village

According to the Thaba Bosiu Cultural Village, the area is located 24km outside Maseru. Thaba Bosiu holds special significance as a National Monument and the birthplace of the Basotho people. The sandstone plateau was once King Moshoeshoe I's fortress, earning its name "Mountain at Night" from legends claiming it grew taller after dark to trap enemies.
