Nassau - Houses of Parliament

Immediately south of Rawson Square is Parliament Square. The Parliament buildings, built 1805-16, are a fine example of British colonial architecture. The west building holds the House of Assembly and the central building is the Senate.

A marble statue of a young Queen Victoria (installed 1905) stands in Parliament Square.
