O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Zvona sa ove crkve oglašavala su se 1872. godine na kraljičin rođendan, a među zvonima se nalazi i ono od 1.200 kilograma. Crkva je preživjela razorni zemljotres 1907. godine koji je sravnio veći dio Kingstona sa zemljom.
Istaknuto: Ispod poda crkve počivaju posmrtni ostaci nekadašnjih robova i uglednih kolonijalnih porodica, što ovaj prostor čini živim arhivom jamajčanske istorije. Kada kročite unutra, sunčeva svjetlost probija kroz vitraže i stvara šarene sjene po krečnjačkim zidovima starim više od dva vijeka.
Insajderski savjeti
- Wear light cotton clothing and bring water, as there is no air conditioning inside and humidity can be high.
- The best shot for a photo is from the back pew at a 45-degree angle toward the altar.
- The stained glass depicting biblical scenes is most detailed in the morning hours when the sun hits directly.
- Skip the midday visits on Saturdays as preparations for weddings begin and the church is closed to tourists.
