Elbow Reef Lighthouse – Abaco
This beautiful red and white candy-striped monument was created in 1860s and is still in operation today. Located on Elbow Cay, the lighthouse is a living history artifact as it is the only lighthouse in the world that 100% manually operated without electricity. To see the lighthouse’s brilliance, a dedicated keeper hand-wounds the lens and it is fueled by kerosene.

White Crowned Pigeon – New Providence
An iconic symbol across New Providence’s landscape, stands the White Crowned Pigeon statue. Created by the talented Stephen G. E. Burrows, and located on the JFK Drive and Blake Road roundabout this piece is an awe to all who see it. The structure which was created in the 80s apart of a public art series highlights a beloved local bird.

Fort Montagu – New Providence
One of three surviving fort in Nassau, Fort Montagu is a historical gem. Built between 1741 and 1742 by Peter Henry Bruce, Fort was constructed from Bahamian limestone to defend the eastern entrance to Nassau Harbour against invaders and pirates. Its strategic location structure and weaponry such as canons, made the harbor difficult to attack. In 1776, the fort saw its most notable action when it was captured by American Revolutionaries it in search of gunpowder during the American Revolutionary War. Today, Fort Montagu stands as an enduring symbol of The Bahamas’ rich military and colonial history.

Public Library – New Providence
The Nassau Public Library is one of The Bahamas’ oldest and only octagonal historic buildings. Originally constructed between 1798 and 1800 as Nassau’s first prison, it was transformed into a public library in 1873, with the former prison cells now serving as peaceful reading havens. Located near Parliament Square in downtown Nassau, the four-story limestone structure preserves much of its original architecture while offering stunning views of the city from its upper veranda. Today, the library serves as a resource for preserving Bahamian history, culture, providing extensive collections, and educational resources to more than 5,000 subscribers.

Queen’s Staircase – New Providence
The Queen’s Staircase, also known as the ’66 Steps’ is one of Nassau’s most famous landmarks. It features a 66-step passage carved from solid limestone by 600 enslaved people between 1793 and 1794. Originally created as an escape route connecting Fort Fincastle to downtown Nassau, it was later named in honor of Queen Victoria. Although only 65 steps are visible today due to later paving, the staircase remains a powerful symbol of Bahamian history and resilience. Surrounded by lush tropical foliage and a cascading waterfall, its cool limestone walls create a peaceful setting and make it one of Nassau’s most photographed attractions.

The Hatchet Bay Silos – Eleuthera
What once stood as a means for feeding cows, now stands as a historic structure. Standing tall on the Queen’s Highway between Alice and Gregory Town, Eleuthera are the Hatchet Bay Silos. Built in the 1930s by Austin T. Levy, the Hatchet Bay Silos were built to store hay and corn for the massive Hatchet Bay Plantation/Austin Levy Farm. For years the 2,400 acre farm produced dairy products, mainly milk and eggs for Eluethera and neighboring islands, including New Providence. The silos which were operational up until the 1970’s are now a symbol of Eleuthera’s agricultural economic boom.
