Built to commemorate the landing of the settlers in 1820. 204 steps lead to magnificent views of the Harbour and railway lines. Step 67 contains a silver plaque to honor Nelson Mandela and the 67 years he devoted towards a democratic South Africa. Each landing has areas of additional interest and has a feeling of a mini art gallery or museum. Budget friendly as entrance is free. The staff are very friendly and helpful. A hidden gem.

Built to commemorate the arrival of the 1820 Settlers, this monument in the heart of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, down near the entrance to the Harbour, is an iconic part of Port Elizabeth's history. It is open to the public and it was beautifully revamped in 2017. Whether you're a tourist or a local, this is worth a visit, it has 204 steps, dyand just over 50 metres tall and is easy to climb. The views from the top are absolutely magical. The information and art within the monument is thought-provoking and very well planned. Don't miss the opportunity to experience this special monument to a very special group of humans who contributed richly to our country's history.

Built to commemorate the first settlers who landed in Port Elizabeth . The tower was closed so we missed the opportunity of going to the top.

Friendly staff, lots of steps, broken lift and bells not working, due to covid, w.t.f. blame it on bad administration and poor management.

Great historical site to visit. A pity the clock, bells, and elevator are all broken, especially since the refurbishment was only done a few years ago in 2017. Maybe charging a small entrance fee would help with maintenance.

Intrigued me....still reading about it...watch the space

Absolutely worth it.

Beautiful view of the valley

Great experience , lovely views of Port Elizabeth

On our doorstep and a must to see some history of Port Elizabeth.

It's a very good place to stay for students

Cool place

It's a beautiful sight and that old clock works !

Bell in station

Beautiful old tower

Quite a number of steps. Antique watches with a loud noise

It was fantastic

Nice historic site. Worth a visit. Guided tour. No charge.

Beautiful

Awesome history

Very friendly staff and give you information. But the lift and the bells didn't work and my husband, who had 3 back operations, had to climb all the steps to view from top.

Wow, wow & wow. If wasting for Geocaching we would never have come here. Well worth the hike up the stairs.

Good communication with customers and you get every building material you need in one roof and good discounts

History is important so that we can understand the future.

It's a very attractive build it's even worse during night with the lights up it have, good experience to spend some time looking at the place.

It's free to enter. It has been maintained well, but the elevator hasn't been working for some time.

I have been living in PE for 20 years, and this is the first time to climb up this tower! What an amazing experience! Literally touching the history of the city.

Not a safe place. Area looks run down, and sometimes lots of unsavory looking people sitting and sleeping at the parking area. The harbor security didn't want me to park with the other vehicles outside the harbor entrance. Looks like part of the historic train station has been burned down. Lift in the Campanile doesn't work, and the bells also doesn't work. Some of the art pieces have been torn apart insidetheCampanile.

First time in 57 years and great to see it well restored

The refurb is awesome

Great excellent service

A good and nice place to visit.. It worth a visit indeed

Great place to visit. Loads of stairs but great view at the top. Loads of history. Lift out of order not that we would have used it. The stairs are what makes it a challenge. The place to park is rather unclear and we were rather worried about leaving the car outside the station opposite a taxi come bus rank.

HISTORY IN LIVING YEARS.
