Cabot Tower, Observation tower in Bristol, Great Britain.
Standing at 32 meters tall on Brandon Hill, Cabot Tower features a circular base constructed from local limestone and two viewing platforms.
The tower was constructed between 1897 and 1898 to mark the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's journey from Bristol to North America.
The structure maintains its Grade II listed building status, representing the architectural excellence of late Victorian public monuments in Bristol.
Visitors can climb 109 steps through a spiral staircase to reach the observation platforms, offering views across Bristol's cityscape and harbor.
Three commemorative plaques at the tower's base communicate in Morse code through flashing lights, spelling out its location information.
