Parliament Square

Parliament Square, a major tourist destination in downtown Nassau, was created by Loyalists from North Carolina in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The House of Assembly, the Senate Building, and the Supreme Court of The Bahamas are all pink buildings with Colonial influences, and they are magnificent symbols of the country's history, present, and future.

Parliament Square's pastel-pink buildings have become associated with downtown Nassau. Parliament Square, which was built by British Loyalists in 1815, is a remarkable example of the colonial architecture that was popular in Nassau in the early nineteenth century. The House of Assembly, on the right, is where parliamentary meetings are placed. The Senate meets in the central building, and the Leader of the Opposition's office is on the left. A statue of Queen Victoria stands in front of the Senate building, which was erected in 1905 using public monies.

The Prime Minister and two parliamentary houses—the 38-member House of Assembly (Lower House) and the 16-member Senate (Upper House)—meet at the House of Assembly to address state concerns. If you're interested in politics while the House of Commons is in session, you may visit this pink-colored edifice on the right side of Parliament Square and watch legislators debate from the gallery.

Fun Fact: The Supreme Court is located at the back of the Senate building, where justices and lawyers still wear traditional British robes and magnificent white wigs.
