Look up past the tiny windows to the broad gallery and glazed lantern. Gibbs Hill Lighthouse is a cast-iron tower, a distinctive landmark on an island long shaped by seafaring. Its position on the hill makes the tower part of Bermuda’s skyline as well as its maritime history.

architecture
Follow the pointed windows from the entrance towards the central tower. The Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity is the home of Hamilton’s Anglican cathedral community. Its stone walls and delicate window tracery create a very different landmark from Bermuda’s brightly coloured houses.

architecture
St George's permanent English settlement began in 1612. Its lanes grew around the harbour rather than following a formal grid. Local limestone buildings have distinctive whitewashed roofs, shaped to gather scarce rainwater and carry it into cisterns. Nearby fortifications trace several centuries of changing coastal defence.
