Lonely Planet review for Saluting Battery
The Saluting Battery, where a cannon once fired salutes to visiting naval vessels. The battery has been restored, and a cannon is fired every day at noon. The guided tours show how the cannon is loaded and fired, and there are displays on the history of time-keeping and signalling. (The gardens, the battery and a whole network of tunnels within the St Peter and Paul Bastion are being restored to house a museum and other displays; it should be open to the public in 2011.)
