    Rawson Square

    The heart of town for tourists is Rawson Square, on the south side of Bay St. It's a natural place to begin a tour of downtown Nassau. Guided walking tours also begin here. In the center of the square is a bust of Sir Milo Butler, the first governor-general of the independent nation, and a fountain pool with leaping bronze dolphins.

    Nearby is a life-size bronze statue, Bahamian Woman, which honors the role of women during 'years of adversity.' She holds a small child.
