Why go
The Bussa Emancipation Statue gives a focused stop on Barbados’s struggle against slavery. Sculptor Karl Broodhagen’s bronze figure raises broken chains, while the name recalls a leader of the 1816 rebellion. The work stands in a busy roundabout, so its meaning is easier to take in from a lawful viewing position than by trying to reach the central island. Look at the sculpture and its setting, then continue only when traffic conditions make movement safe.
What to look for
- The raised broken chains.
- The bronze figure above the roundabout.
Useful to know
- Do not cross traffic to reach the central island; use a safe public viewpoint.
