Cullinan is a small heritage town in Gauteng Province, South Africa, situated approximately 40 kilometres east of Pretoria within the Tshwane metropolitan area. It is internationally recognised as the site of the Premier Mine, where the 3,106-carat Cullinan Diamond was unearthed in 1905, the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found. The town's Victorian-era streetscape, active kimberlite pipe mine, and compact visitor infrastructure make it a self-contained day-trip or short-stay destination within the broader Gauteng tourism corridor.
