The Queen's Staircase was named in honor of Queen Victoria. It is one of the most popular sights in Nassau. The staircase was completely excavated out of limestone by 600 slaves using only hand tools between 1793-1794.
The Queen's Staircase is 102 feet tall and contains 65 steps. The base of the staircase contains a long narrow grotto filled with tropical plants. The Queen's Staircase was built to connect the populated lower area of Nassau, Bahama's capital city, to Fort Fincastle which is built on a hill and protects the entrance to Nassau Harbor.
