Cathedral Church of Saint Michael and All Angels, Barbados

The Cathedral Church of Saint Michael and All Angels stands with its coral stone structure and Gothic Revival elements in central Bridgetown.

Following destruction by a hurricane in 1780, the cathedral was rebuilt in 1789 and gained its cathedral status in 1825 under Bishop Coleridge.

The marble baptismal font from the 17th century represents early Caribbean religious craftsmanship and carries a Greek palindromic inscription.

The cathedral maintains regular worship services and can accommodate 1600 people, featuring the largest pipe organ in the Caribbean region.

The churchyard contains the graves of prominent Barbadian leaders, including Sir Grantley Adams and Tom Adams, the first chief minister and second Prime Minister.
