Paradise Island
Introduction |
 |
|
| |
Paradise
Island has almost always been exclusively
for tourists. Resorts, shops, restaurants,
a golf course, a casino and, of course,
naturally beautiful beaches line the
shores and the streets. Paradise Island
has been transformed by development
in the past 10 years and is now attached
to New Providence by two 600-foot bridges.

The
Cloisters
The Cloisters, is
an architectural gem. The open-air
courtyard of the Cloister features
a sculpture of a woman. There
are plants and flowers growing
about to lend a romantic character
to the ruins. On its south side,
a little round "temple"
with classical columns faces
the water and acts as the endpoint
of the north-south axis that
runs through the Versailles
garden and shoots through the
Cloisters. |

Queen's
Staircase
Probably
the most famous architectural
sight in Nassau, the Queen's
Staircase is a flight of 66
steps that links Fort Fincastle
to the Princess Margaret Hospital.
What makes it remarkable is
that the staircase was not built,
but carved out of calcareos
(coral-based) sandstone at the
end of the 18th century. |
