About Bridgetown

Bridgetown was founded by English settlers in 1628 on the southwest coast of Barbados, and its old centre and the nearby Garrison form a World Heritage Site. The Parliament Buildings, in Gothic Revival style, overlook National Heroes Square, the main square of the old town, and the Careenage, a narrow harbour inlet, is lined with old warehouses. Nidhe Israel Synagogue is among the oldest in the Americas.
