Historic Bridgetown & Its Garrison

HastingsBarbadosYou Are Entering A UNESCO World Heritage PropertyHistoric Bridgetown and its Garrison exhibits an important interchange of human values in the diversity of African, European and other ethnicities, and the confluence of cultural practices of free and enslaved persons who created a hybridised culture and creolised architecture, over the span of almost three centuries. Its transformation from a 'medieval' port
town to the mainstay of trade-based English expansion and defense in the Americas, bears exceptional testimony to the adaptation of African craftsmanship and the projection of British imperial power, exemplified in its serpentine street layout, enduring urban fabric, innovative Screw Dock and the finest brick garrison complex constructed in the Atlantic World
Signage sponsored by the Barbados Tourism Investment Inc. Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2011
