🎧 Listen to Introduction
Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison is an outstanding example of British colonial architecture, consisting of a well-preserved old town built in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, which bears witness to the expansion of Britain's Atlantic colonial empire. The site also includes the nearby military garrison, which consists of numerous historic buildings. The site's meandering urban layout demonstrates the different approach to colonial town planning compared to the Spanish and Dutch colonial cities in the region, which were built on a grid plan.
