   St Augustine's Monastery

   • Nassau, The Bahamas
   • Sights › Religious, spiritual

   The fortresslike St Augustine's Monastery sits atop a rocky perch on Bernard Rd. This working monastery was designed by Father Jerome, the itinerant architect-cleric who blessed Cat and Long Islands with beautiful Gothic churches. The imposing building dates from 1947 and is still used by Benedictine monks, who give guided tours that offer a fascinating glimpse of monastic life.

   A college run by the monks is attached. Phone ahead to enquire about opening hours.
