Nassau Water Tower (Nassau Water Tower)
With this water tower on the town opens a completely crazy look! The tower is high enough, about 40 meters in height. And in general, this construction is considered practically a Nassau symbol! The tower was built in 1928, and the money was allocated by the US government. Here, in general, everything you can tell about this tower!

Parliament Square
Parliamentary Square is the heart of the city. The name, respectively, because the Parliament Building is located on the square. Of course, there is not only one parliament on the square, there are still a number of other administrative buildings of 18-19 centuries, but they are not very interesting. They are distinguished clear geometric shapes and modest decorations. But a small park nearby is even cute and suitable for walking. The main decoration of the Square is a monument to the Queen of Victoria, which is made from marble.

Fort Charlotte (Fort Charlotte)
At the top of the hill near Nassau there is this beautiful port. Fort was named after the wife of the king of George third islands. And the fort built for defensive purposes at the end of the 18th century to escape from the onslaught of pirate ships. The construction from all sides is surrounded by a moat with water, and the walls are located in the walls. By the way, the walls are very thick - they are impossible to break through even a cannonal core! Probably, so today the fort is still in such an excellent condition, despite all the adversities and attacks. Inside the complex you can see soldier and officer barracks, and even the preserved guns that defended the harbor and ditch: 10 guns and 42 guns. On the territory of Fort today is the museum. In addition, the place where this massive structure is located is quite picturesque, more precisely, the opening panoramic species that are shook to the depths of the soul. From the observation deck of Fort, you can admire the Aravak-Kay artificial island.

Nassau Public Library (Nassau Public Library)
The library building is located in the building of the late 18th century, which is noticeably from afar due to its unusual octagonal shape and pink color of the walls.

Impressive collection of engravings, newspapers, maps, postage stamps and historical documents of colonial times, which are in this reading room. Place the most interesting!
