The Garrison Historic Area forms the core of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison, inscribed in 2011. Once the headquarters of the British army in the eastern Caribbean, it retains more than 100 listed buildings including Main Guard, the Garrison Savannah parade ground, St. Ann's Fort and a remarkable collection of 17th-century iron cannons. The Barbados Museum, George Washington House and Charles Fort are all within its bounds, and the Savannah itself is used today for horse racing, Independence parades and community events.
