The Water Tower stands 126 feet on the top of Bennet’s Hill, giving it a commanding view over downtown Nassau and the harbor. This 1928 imposing structure is the first thing you see while catching your breath after trudging up the Queen’s Staircase. This 102 foot staircase, named in honor of Queen Victoria, was carved into the cliff by slaves during the late 18th century to provide access to Fort Fincastle. It is one of the most popular attractions on the island.
