Lonely Planet review for Chavonnes Battery Museum

This excellent interpretative museum houses the remains of Cape Town’s oldest cannon battery outside of the Castle of Good Hope, dating from 1726. Although they had been partly demolished and built over during the construction of the docks in 1860, an excavation of the site in 1999 revealed the remains. You can walk around the entire site and get a good feel for what it would have originally been like. It’s also staffed by costumed enthusiasts who sometimes like to shoot off a real cannon in front of the museum on Sunday at noon.
