Bridgetown - Broad Street

The section of Broad Street from the Parliament Buildings to the imposing Barbados Insurance Society Building hints at the wealth once generated by the sugar barons of the island. Also called the Mutual Building it was built 1894-5 and has silver domes which top its bulky green towers. The whole building is in circled by a second-story veranda.

Beyond the Mutual Building are St Patrick's Catholic Cathedral (1899) and the bus terminal.

Those walking into town from the cruise ship docks should use Broad Street in at least one direction.
