Anglesea Barracks, Military barracks in Battery Point, Hobart, Australia.
Anglesea Barracks spans multiple buildings across a central Hobart location, featuring colonial architecture and dedicated military facilities for active service members.
The construction of the barracks began in 1814 after Governor Lachlan Macquarie selected the site in December 1811 for British military operations.
The Army Museum of Tasmania, located within the former gaol building, displays military artifacts and documents chronicling Australian defense history.
The barracks houses administrative offices for Defense sites in Tasmania, including Battalion HQ, Royal Tasmania Regiment, and Australian Army Band facilities.
This military complex maintains its status as the longest continuously operating Army barracks in Australia, marking over 200 years of service.
