- Garrison - Starting in 1655, large fleets of British ships and soldiers frequently visited Barbados, establishing it as their operational base. In 1780, the British Government decided to station a permanent garrison on the island, leading to the construction of the Garrison, which is the largest in the Caribbean. Many buildings were made from London bricks, used as ballast in ships that returned with sugar. Approximately 60 of the original buildings still exist today.
