Discover the historic allure of Signal Hill National Historic Site. Â
As St. Johnâs most popular landmark, Signal Hill recalls the townâs historic past and communications triumph, as well as offering coastal hikes and colourful performances against sweeping views overlooking the Atlantic. Signal Hill was the site of St. Johnâs harbour defences from the 17th century to the Second World War and where Guglielmo Marconi received the worldâs first transatlantic wireless signal in 1901.
The best time to visit Signal Hill National Historic Site is from June 1 to October 6, when the visitor centre and its full suite of programs are operational. The grounds, however, welcome visitors year-round, offering different seasonal perspectives of St. John's most famous landmark.
