Port Royal - Discover Port Royal, including the fishing village and The Grand Excelsior Hotel.
Port Royal is one of the country’s oldest and most historic areas, preserving much of its independence and heritage. Once a haven for pirates and outlaws, it still retains a strong maritime tradition. Much of the old city, once dubbed the “wickedest city in the west” in the 17th century, now lies submerged beside the town due to an earthquake in 1692 that consumed about two-thirds of the living space. Since then, another earthquake in 1907, along with numerous hurricanes, fires, and diseases, have affected the town. Despite these challenges, the waters around Port Royal are a rich archaeological site, filled with historical artifacts that reveal everyday life during the early days of English settlement. - Institute of Jamaica - Visit the IOJ’s National Gallery of Jamaica.
- Kingston Parish - Explore the Kingston Waterfront.
Take a leisurely walk along Water Lane to admire the street art and mural paintings.
Make a brief stop at the Kingston Craft Market near the Waterfront, which features over one hundred shops. The Kingston Craft Market is renowned for its “Brand Jamaica.”
- Emancipation Park - Located in New Kingston, the park is themed “Tribute to Freedom” and features an 11-foot bronze statue titled “Redemption Song.” This statue, depicting a black man and woman gazing skyward, is situated at the southeast entrance of the park. The statue symbolizes triumph over the tragedies of slavery. West African spiritual symbols are incorporated throughout the park’s design, and the vibrant tropical plants and flowers create a serene atmosphere. It stands as a symbol of hope and freedom for the Jamaican people.
