Fort Fincastle

Fincastle is like a silent historical defender, standing on the coastline to witness the changes of the years. Mottled walls and ancient forts tell of the past against foreign enemies. Standing at the height of the fortress, the sea breeze is wrapped in salty atmosphere, overlooking the vast blue waves, which can witness the weight of history, and can enjoy the magnificent sea view of the Bahamas, showing the unique charm of the vicissitudes and magnificentness.

Fincastle, at the highest point in the city of Nassau, was a castle built by Governor Danmore in 1793, in the shape of a hull and with three cannons. Step up the castle and climb the stairs, with a panoramic view of the magnificent pink buildings of Atlantis on Paradise Island and several large cruise ships moored in the bay!

The fortress also has a TheWater Tower, a 38.5-meter tall water tower funded by the U.S. government in 1928, which was used to maintain the water pressure on the island and provide drinking water for the whole island. Later, the water tower became a tourist attraction because the islanders did not have enough water to divert water into the island. Now the water tower is closed and can't climb up.
