概要

クイックファクト: 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 preživela razorni zemljotres 1907. godine koji je sravnio veći deo Kingstona sa zemljom.

見どころ: Ispod poda crkve počivaju posmrtni ostaci nekadašnjih robova i uglednih kolonijalnih porodica, što ovaj prostor čini živim arhivom jamajčanske istorije. Kada kročite unutra, sunčeva svetlost probija kroz vitraže i stvara šarene senke po krečnjačkim zidovima starim više od dva veka.

インサイダーヒント

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.
