Two worlds collide at the adjoining Rawson Square and Parliament Square, central bearing points in downtown Nassau. Rawson Square houses a half body bronze bust of Sir Milo Butler, the first governor-general in an independent Bahamas. Directly opposite in Parliament Square there is a provocative full-bodied statue of Queen Victoria sitting on a throne.
This is the heart of the Bahamian government. Visit the Senate and Parliament buildings. View parts of Bahamian history in the statues and revolving placards and other showings set up by the government.
This is the centre of downtown, but we recommend walking the surrounding area which is the oldest part of Nassau. The government buildings and streets give you a feel for our colonial past.
