Monuments

The word monument comes from the Latin "monere," which means 'to remind' or 'to warn.' A monument is a structure that has been comprehensively constructed in an effort to pay homage to an important person or event that has become of principle importance to a particular society. Customarily, monuments are used to enhance and beautify their surroundings.

Barbados' motto is 'Pride and Industry' and it should come as no surprise that where possible the island makes every effort to highlight its people and revere its history. Such 'Pride and Industry' is aptly demonstrated in the craftsmanship that is clearly exhibited in the many monuments Barbados has scattered over the island.

Visitors and locals who have a burning desire to learn more about the island can easily set out on such a mission by taking in some history associated with our monuments. These monuments stand firmly as durable and prominent structures to remind us of the contribution that was made by great Barbadians and even non nationals to the country.
