The majority of the iron-based superconductors (FeSCs) exhibit a two-dimensional square lattice structure. Recent reports of pressure-induced superconductivity in the spin-ladder system, BaFe₂X₃(X=S, Se), introduce a quasi-one-dimensional prototype and an insulating parent compound to the FeSCs. In this work, we report x-ray, neutron diffraction, and muon spin relaxation experiments on BaFe₂Se₃ under hydrostatic pressure to investigate its magnetic and structural properties across the pressure-temperature phase diagram. A structural phase transition was found at a pressure of 3.7(3) GPa. Neutron diffraction measurements at 6.8(3) GPa and 120 K show that the block magnetism persists even at these high pressures. A steady increase and then fast drop of the magnetic transition temperature T_N and greatly reduced moment above the pressure P_s indicate potentially rich and competing phases close to the superconducting phase in this ladder system.
