This historic site
celebrates the rich communications and military history of Signal
Hill and sits amidst a spectacular view of St. John's and the
sea. Signal Hill was the reception point of the first transatlantic
wireless signal by Guglielmo Marconi in 1901, as well as the site
of harbour defences for St. John's from the 18th century to the
Second World War. Enjoy a performance of the 19th-century military
drills by the Signal Hill Tattoo (in season), or take a hike from
the summit along the coast and harbour entrance.
