The Castle Church


This is one of the pillars of the Greyfriar’s church, which is nestled in the heart of downtown Port of Spain, Greyfriar’s Church marks the introduction of Presbyterianism to  Trinidad. In 1837, this church was established to serve British settlers, most of whom were Presbyterian Scots. As one can clearly see it is structured after a castle, a British castle to be exact. This is another example of colonial influence on the architectural variation in Trinidad.
