Observations of radio galaxies, in the Very-High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray band, will further enhance studies of the processes in relativitic jets and in the vicinities of supermassive blackholes. Centaurus A, M 87 and 3C 120 are some of the radio galaxies that have been observed with H.E.S.S. (High-Energy Stereoscopic System). The implications of the H.E.S.S. results on the emission processes and sites of emission, as well as implications on different available models will be highlighted.
