Parliament Buildings, Gothic Revival parliament buildings in Bridgetown, Barbados.

The Parliament Buildings, constructed with local limestone, stand at the top of Broad Street with a clock tower in the West Wing.

The Parliament of Barbados, established in 1639 as the third oldest in the British Commonwealth, moved to these buildings in 1874.

The East Wing features stained glass windows depicting British monarchs from James I to Queen Victoria, created by local artisans Thomas and Charles Hawkesley.

The buildings house both the Senate and House of Assembly chambers, with the West Wing containing a National Heroes Gallery and Museum of Parliament.

Cast iron railings surrounding the buildings were manufactured by Andrew Handyside & Co. Ltd, representing nineteenth-century British industrial craftsmanship.
