These are two historical sites you should visit when you come to Nassau, Bahamas.

Fort Montagu- Oldest fort in Nassau,Bahamas the fort was built in 1741-1742 to help defend from the Spanish invasion.

BlackBeard's Tower- In the early 1700's BlackBeard frequently use the tower as a lookout spot when he was in The Bahamas. The tower located 5 miles east of Fort Montagu.

In 1782 Spanish forces under General Galvez capture The Bahamas. Also British-American Loyalist Colonel Andrew Deveaux recaptured in 1783. But years later the Bahamas gained independence July 10th 1973.
