Signal Hill (Cape Town)
Encyclopedia : S : SI : SIG : Signal Hill (Cape Town)
Signal Hill (
Afrikaans:
Seinheuwel) is a famous, flat-topped hill located in
Cape Town, next to
Lion's Head and
Table Mountain. The hill is also known as "The Lion's Rump" but this term is obsolescent. It is known for the
Noon gun that is operated there by the
South African Astronomical Observatory. There is a road to the summit and that vantage point provides spectacular views over Cape Town and surroundings, especially at dawn or sunset.
