The Queen ' s Staircase

These steps were built by 600 slaves over a 16 year period in the 1700’ s. Using pick axes and other hand tools, they carved through solid limestone to create this staircase leading up to Fort Fincastle. Named after Queen Victoria, it is one of Nassau’ s most visited attractions.
