The Queen's Staircase
Named for Queen Victoria who became queen of the United Kingdom in 1837, the Queen's Staircase was chiseled from solid limestone circa 1830's by free men of African descent. Also known as "The 66 Steps" the staircase was built in the remains of a stone quarry and stands at 31m tall. The steps serve as public access between Fort Fincastle and the city of Nassau. Over time indiscriminate paving has reduced the number of steps to 64.
This iconic site not only serves as a physical connection between the fort community and the city but also as a powerful reminder of the island's past. Today, the Queen's Staircase stands as a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of resilience, highlighting the enduring spirit of the Bahamian people.
