Noon Gun Tours and Tickets
Free admission
Six days a week, at precisely 12pm, the roar of blasting gunpowder echoes across Cape Town from Signal Hill. The firing of the Noon Gun, one of a pair of 18th-century cannons, has been a Cape Town tradition since British colonists instituted it in 1806—though it was only in 1902 that the guns took up their present position at Lion Battery.
