The Queen‘s Staircase, located in Nassau, the capital city of The Bahamas, is a 66–step walkway carved out of solid limestone rock by 600 slaves between 1793 and 1794 to provide an escape route from the fort above. It is a renowned landmark of Nassau and situated at the Fort Fincastle Historic Complex near Bennet‘s Hill, adjacent to Princess Margaret Hospital and the Grosvenor Campus of the University of the Bahamas. Water flows along the staircase, cascading to a pool below, while a walkway runs between high stone walls, tropical plants, and trees.
