First Parliament Monument, Barbados - Bridgetown

First Parliament Monument, Barbados

Old Parliament

Not necessarily something you'd go out of your way to find, but an interesting thing to stumble across: Here marks the original meeting place for the Barbadian parliament in 1639. It was supposedly upstairs in a tavern (the Bajans were laid back even back then it would seem).

Barbados had the third oldest parliamentary system in the Commonwealth (after the UK and Bermuda).

This monument is located at the corner of Spry and Roebuck Streets.
