Chavonnes Battery Museum is a museum in Cape Town, and it is one of the stops that gives the V&A Waterfront its depth: the site preserves the remains of an 18th-century coastal battery that once guarded the harbour. Visitors come for the military history, the archaeology and the layered story of the waterfront itself, then step back out into the shops, quays and marina that now surround it. Because it sits among the docks, a visit fits easily into a day of walking the waterfront rather than requiring a separate trip. The museum's position is what makes it so easy to build into a Cape Town stay.
