La ville de The Bottom sur l'île de Saba

The Bottom est le chef-lieu de l'île de Saba dans les Petites Antilles. C'est dans cette ville que réside le Lieutenant-Gouverneur de Saba.

La ville est batie dans le fond d'un ancien cratère de volcan situé dans le quart sud-ouest de l'île. Elle est reliée à la mer par un escalier taillé dans le rocher appelé the Ladder qui compte près de 400 marches.

La ville abrite la Saba University School of Medicine, une école de médecine qui abrite environ 250 étudiants, pour la plupart américains.

Depuis 1958, une route relie The Bottom aux autres agglomérations de l'île.
