Barry Lamprecht Was a great experience, even though the lift doesn't work and the bells haven't wrung in many years. Beautifull view from the top. Pitty it's not maintained better and we can do better to market such an historic landmark.
Corné Lamprecht The 50m high Campanile Memorial has a climb of 204 steps that takes one to the Observation Room, offering a magnificent view of the harbor and surroundings, more than 52m above the city.
hilton johnson 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.
Norman John Visser 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.
Nikki Moutsatsos 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.
