About The Amsterdam Battery - Established 1787 Landmark
Built in 1784, it was once the city's most important coastal defence. Today, you can explore the original rear ramparts and circular walls uncovered during archaeological digs. Reviewers appreciate how the park "pays homage" to the battery with gabion walls filled with stone excavated directly from the site. It offers a unique "walk through history" while providing some of the best unobstructed views of Table Mountain and the Noon Day Gun on Signal Hill.
