Maseru, the capital and largest city of the Kingdom of Lesotho, is located in the western part of the country on the banks of the Kaleteng River, close to the Free State Province of South Africa, and is the only national city and main gateway to Lesotho. As a political, economic and cultural center, Mapoteng hosts the country's population of about 300,000 (15% of the country's total population) and is home to a concentration of government institutions, commercial hubs and transportation networks. The city has a predominantly light industrial sector covering textiles and food processing, as well as being a distribution center for the surrounding agricultural areas. Culturally, attractions such as the Lesotho National Museum and the Port Mapoteng Market demonstrate the country's blend of tradition and modernity, while the temperate highland climate lends itself to four pleasant seasons. As an important node on South Africa's Ring Road, Mapoteng is not only an international window on Lesotho, but also a key city for regional cooperation in Southern Africa.
