The Campanile is a historical landmark and a memorial built to commemorate the landing of the settlers in 1820. It is situated outside the Strand Street railway station in Port Elizabeth. It is a 50-metre tall architectural wonder that offers a stunning view of the surrounding city and harbour.
It is part of route 67, which begins at The Campanile and includes all sorts of historical, creative and cultural attractions. The tower also contains one of the largest carillons of bells in the country, along with a chiming clock inside the observatory room. Not only do the bells chime beautifully to indicate the time, but they also light up to indicate which specific bell is chiming. They are also inscribed with dedications to icons in South African history. Various art galleries and exhibitions on South Africa’s past are also located in the Campanile. You can get to the top by taking the stairs and the lift with its harbour viewing window.
