Kingston

Kingston sits on the Liguanea Plain beside Kingston Harbour in southeast Jamaica, where the Blue Mountains form a high northern backdrop to the capital. Established in 1692 after an earthquake devastated nearby Port Royal, it developed into Jamaica’s principal port and administrative centre. Downtown’s waterfront and civic core contrast with greener residential districts extending towards the foothills. Music is central to the city’s identity: the Bob Marley Museum occupies the musician’s former home and recording studio on Hope Road. Kingston also houses the National Gallery of Jamaica, whose collection traces Jamaican art from the colonial era to the present.
