Brades (or Brades Estate; approx. pop. 1,000) is a village and de facto capital of Montserrat since 1998.[1] It is located in the Carr's Bay/Little Bay vicinity at the northwest end of Montserrat. The official capital Plymouth in the south of the island has been abandoned since 1997 due to the eruption of Soufriere Hills volcano, which buried Plymouth. Interim government buildings have since been built at Brades.
