Parliament Building and Museum

The Parliament Buildings in Bridgetown Barbados is full of history and holds true to it's heritage...branded the third oldest Parliament in the British Commonwealth...it's a feat every Barbadian should be proud of. Situated on the upper side of Broad Street in an area which is also steeped in history...dating back to the slave trade which connects to the Wharf & boardwalk and the now Heroes Square. This iconic building with its beautiful architecture and coral stone facade is quite beautiful and demands to be seen with its towering clock which stands tall in the capital. It being a UNESCO World heritage Site mean it will remain and stay preserved for generations to come.

It’s mainly closed for renovations. Also they weren’t keep on receiving guests due to Commonwealth summit. I was able to walk around and see the buildings from the outside which were still pretty.

Home to the 3rd oldest (1639) Parliament in the Western Hemisphere after the House of Assembly in Bermuda (1620) and the Virginia House of Delegates (1619). Well worth a stop for photos alone if you are unable to tour the buildings and visit the museum.

Impressive building from outside. Understand there is a lot of history with this building. Unfortunately was not able to enter due to time constraints

Within walking distance to other famous buildings and monuments

A UNESCO heritage building, but to me, they seem to be very unassuming and just seem to be plonked down in the middle of the city.

Many older Bajans are very proud of their heritage - and this museum helps you understand it. Easy to navigate, doesn’t take a ton of time, air conditioned, inexpensive - and it taught me a lot about Barbadian history. Highly recommend.

I love that a part of our island's history is open for the public to see, even if for a small fee. Housed in beautiful coral stone buildings in the center of the city's capital, its a sight to see both inside and out.
