The Noon Gun has been a historic time signal in Cape Town, South Africa since 1806. It consists of a pair of black powder Dutch naval guns, fired alternatingly with one serving as a backup. The guns are situated on Signal Hill, close to the centre of the city.

Don’t get a fright when you hear a canon shot every day at 12:00 noon. This has been a tradition since 1806. You can see them shoot the cannon
