5/5 Rosalena R. 4 years ago on Google • 36 reviews
One
of
the
many
sites
in
the
old
capital
St.
Jago
del
la
Vega.
Originally
the
site
of
a
catholic
church,
destroyed
by
the
british...it
is
the
oldest
church
in
Jamaica,
first
structure
dates
back
to
1714.
Stepping
through
these
doors
is
like
stepping
back
in
time.
An
invaluable
piece
of
not
just
religous
history
as
the
oldest
Anglican
church
but
offers
a
view
of
the
islands
socio-economical
and
political
history
over
the
period
from
slavery
to
independence.
The
final
resting
place
for
many
of
the
island's
then
elite
planter
class.A
mix
of
Romanesque
and
Gothic
architecture
and
lined
with
beautiful
marble
sculptures
including
works
of
John
Bacon.
It
also
houses
the
islands
oldest
pipe
organ
which
is
still
operable.
Open
every
day
except
Wednesdays
for
guided
tours
by
a
knowledgeable
and
capable
guide
and
care
taker.
