Garrison Church at The Rocks

Walk into Garrison Church at the corner of Argyle St and Lower Fort Rd. The church, the colony's first military church, was built in 1840 for the soldiers to attend services. It was enlarged in 1855 to accommodate 600 people. It is still used today and is generally open from 9.30am to 5pm. Regimental plaques hang along interior walls to remind churchgoers of the church's military association... From the church, continue northeast through Lower Fort Rd.
