The Queen’s Staircase is a walkway of 66 steps in Nassau. It was carved out of solid limestone rock by 600 slaves between 1793 and 1794 to create an escape route from Fort Fincastle. In the 19th century the steps were named in honour of Queen Victoria who ended slavery in the British Empire.
In the early 1970s, a waterfall was constructed next to the staircase, cascading to a pool below. At the bottom a walkway goes between high stone walls, tropical plants and trees.
