GIBBS HILL LIGHTHOUSE
Overlooking Bermuda ’ s South Shore and Little Sound , Gibbs Hill Lighthouse towers 117 feet in the air , serving one of the best vistas on the island . Constructed in 1846 of cast iron , the lighthouse is the oldest and one of only two cast iron lighthouses left in the world . The lighthouse offers views of Hamilton ’ s capital city and the Royal Naval Dockyard .
THE UNFINISHED CHURCH
One of Bermuda ’ s signature historical sites , the gothic stone walls and dramatic archways of the Unfinished Church loom over the town of St . George . The building of the church started in the late 1800s as a replacement for the hurricane-ravaged St . Peter ’ s Church , but construction was never completed . The roofless grey ruins contrast the lush green backdrop of the trees and foliage , making it a popular wedding and photo location .
