Parliament Square

Centrally located in downtown Nassau, Parliament Square is the traditional center for government in the Bahamas. The pastel-hued buildings are good examples of colonial architecture from the early 1800s. Clustered around a marble statue of Queen Victoria are the Supreme Court, House of Assembly and Chambers of Parliament. Four times a year, the pomp attending the opening sessions for the court brings to mind the ties to London and the ceremonies of Parliament there.
