Gun Hill Signal Station is a restored 19th-century military outpost perched on a hill in Barbados. Visitors can climb to the top for panoramic views of the island's east coast and Atlantic Ocean. The site is also home to a striking lion statue, carved in 1868 from a single piece of coral stone by a British soldier.
