Garrison Savannah Area

TIME : 2016/2/18 9:29:44

About 2km south of central Bridgetown and inland from Carlisle Bay, the Garrison is part of the World Heritage zone and was the home of the British command in the 1800s. A focal point is the oval-shaped Savannah, which was once parade grounds and is now used for cricket games, jogging and Saturday horse races.

Standing along the west side of the Savannah are some of the Garrison’s more ornate colonial buildings, where you’ll find the world’s largest collection of 17th-century cannons.
