The Barbados National Armoury was opened in 2004 inside the old naval magazine alongside the walls of St. Ann’s Fort. It is there Barbados’ impressive Gun Collection is housed, amongst which is an Elizabethan cannon of 1600, the only one known to exist anywhere in the world.

The imposing Drill Hall, first used as soldiers’ barracks and later as a commissariat, was built on to the walls of St. Ann’s Fort in 1790. Today, it is the Officers’ Mess, the Sergeants’ Mess and the Corporals’ Mess.
