Signal Hill National Historic Site

I didn't expect that Signal Mountain can not only be watched, but also "eat" [naughty] blueberries all over the mountains. In addition to the small head, the taste is the same as the supermarket bought. 😋 I really responded to that sentence: backing the mountain to eat the mountain 🤪

St. John's Signal Hill is the highest mountain here, and there are many buildings throughout the mountain, including an ancient castle dedicated to the bonfire signal, and there are cannons in the castle more than 200 years ago, which can be seen as a fortification. This is rare in New Zealand and is a historical monument.

Signal Hill is a famous national historical monument in Canada, located at an altitude of 116 metres above the entrance to the northeast harbor of St. Johns, Newfoundland and Labrador Province, Canada, facing the vast Atlantic Ocean. In 1901, Marconi received the first telegraph signal from across the Atlantic, so he named it Signal Hill.

Signal Hill next to St. John's is the highest point in the area. It used to be a military fortress guarding the bay, and now it has become a historical relic of Canada's colonial period. From here, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire bay and St. John's. The scenery is very beautiful. Standing here and overlooking the beautiful scenery is really refreshing.

Signal Hill National Historic Site is one of Canada's famous national historic sites. It is located on the commanding heights of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, facing the vast Atlantic Ocean. Its strategic position can be seen from its geographical location. Like many castles and fortresses in the UK, it is used to resist foreign invasions. Signal Hill is 116 meters above sea level, standing at the entrance of the harbor on the northeastern side of the suburbs of St. John's, extending to Duckworth Street in the city. Due to its special geographical location and rugged terrain, it has always been the communications center of St. John's City from the Anglo-French War in the 18th century to the Second World War. This was also the site of the last battle between the British and French armies in 1762 for colonial rule in North America. The mountain still retains the remains of several 18th and 19th century cannons. The stone Cabot Tower on the hill was built to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria's accession to the throne and the 400th anniversary of Cabot's voyage here. It is now a landmark of St. John's. The first floor of the tower is a souvenir shop, the second floor is an introduction to the history of Signal Hill, and the third floor displays various signal flags used in the past. In 1901, Marconi received the first telegraph signal from across the Atlantic Ocean near the Cabot Tower. From Signal Hill you can overlook the entire St. John's, with the winding coastline and colorful scenery all in sight. There are also many trails here for light hiking, which takes about 50 minutes. In addition, there is a star Newfoundland dog here, which is said to appear here often. If you are lucky, you can meet it and take pictures with it. It is free. The owner is very nice. Highly recommended.

St. John is a famous seaport city. In ancient times, it was also an important maritime military fortress. Signal Hill is their commanding height and the location of the fortress. From here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire port, and the scenery is very beautiful. There is also an observation tower on the top of the mountain that has a history of more than 500 years, which is very historical.

Signal Hill is a bit desolate in winter. The visitor center, cafe, and Cabot Tower are all closed. Most people who go up the mountain are locals who come to exercise or walk their dogs. It is very windy on the mountain, and you can overlook the North Atlantic Ocean and St. John's Harbor.
