Have a look around the small prison cells, which is now crammed with book shelves, look at the collection of historic prints, old colonial documents, and Arawak artifacts (including human skulls!). The former dungeons are not accessible to the public. Walk up the stairs to the top balcony for some views of Parliament Square.

Built in 1797, this octagonal building was formerly used as the Nassau Gaol (or "jail"). It became the public library in 1873.
