Christ Church

The parish of St. Michael is found at the southwest portion of the island.

Saint Michael has survived by name as one of the original six parishes created in 1629.

The parish is home to Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados.

Bridgetown is the center of commercial activity as well as a central hub for the public transport network.

Other major infrastructure in St. Michael is the international seaport of Barbados - the Deep Water Harbor. 

Under Barbados's historical vestry system, the main parish church (St Michael's Cathedral) is sited in St Michael's Row in Bridgetown.

The cathedral replaced the former parish church that was located at the site of St Mary's Church. St Michael's Cathedral was elevated to cathedral status under Bishop Coleridge, who arrived in Barbados in 1825 to head the newly created Diocese of Barbados and the Leeward Islands.
