Throughout Barbados there are homes that were built on sugar cane plantations during the time of slavery. These "great houses" as they are called can often be seen from miles away as they have Royal Palm trees that line the road leading to their door. During my stay in Barbados I visited at least two of these historical landmarks including Oughterson in St. Philip and Farley Hill where the movie "Island in the Sun" was filmed in 1957. The latter burned down after the filming of the movie but the impressive structure still survives on the land that now serves as a beautiful national park.
