Garrison Historic Area

Part of Bridgetown’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Garrison Historic Area served as the British colonial command center during the 18th and 19th centuries. Visitors can explore a variety of well-preserved historical buildings and sights, including the cannon-fringed Garrison Savannah and the elegant George Washington House. The area offers a glimpse into the island’s colonial past, with structures that reflect the architectural and military influences of the time. Today, the Garrison provides a tangible connection to Barbados’ history, allowing visitors to walk through the same spaces that once buzzed with the activity of the British military.
