context_page_description: Signal Hill is a hill which overlooks the city of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Most of the hill is a National Historic Site, and adjacent to it is the site of the Johnson Geo Centre and its associated park. The highest point, Ladies' Lookout, above Cabot Tower, is 167 metres high.
  Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador has a campus on the lower slopes, in the former Battery Hotel, and also now owns the Geo Centre. The community of The Battery lies on the slope of the hill overlooking the Harbour.
  Due to its strategic placement overlooking the Narrows, the only entrance to the harbor, fortifications were built on the hill beginning in the mid 17th century.
