If you ask anyone in Newfoundland what one of the most recognizable landmarks in the province was, they'd probably tell you Signal Hill, or more specifically, Cabot Tower.
Cabot Tower was built in 1897 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland. This site marks the spot where in 1901; Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic wireless message at a position near the tower, the letter "S" in Morse code sent from Cornwall, England.
Cabot Tower is now the center of the Signal Hill National Historic Park, Canada's second largest historic park, with walking trails, and an interpretation centre where the visitor can hear interesting stories about the area. Hikers will be rewarded with spectacular views of the city, the harbor, and the ocean.
