Parliament Buildings in Bridgetown: Neo-Gothic Architecture and Barbados' Democratic Legacy

Overlooking the north side of National Heroes Square in Bridgetown stand two imposing neo-Gothic stone buildings, constructed in 1871. The western edifice, crowned by a distinctive clock tower, houses public offices, while its eastern counterpart serves as the home of the Senate and House of Assembly. At the on-site museum, explore Barbados' rich democratic heritage and the gallery honoring national heroes. When sessions permit, guided tours offer a closer look at the assembly building's magnificent stained-glass windows.
