The Queen's Staircase, located in Nassau, Bahamas, is a historic landmark that was carved out of solid limestone by slaves between 1793 and 1794. Comprising 66 steps, it is named in honor of Queen Victoria, who reigned over the British Empire for much of the 19th century. This impressive staircase leads to Fort Fincastle, which was built to protect the island from potential invaders.
