Sobre

Fatos rápidos: Os sinos desta igreja tocaram em 1872 no aniversário da rainha, e entre eles está um de 1.200 quilos. A igreja sobreviveu ao devastador terremoto de 1907 que destruiu grande parte de Kingston.

Destaques: Debaixo do piso da igreja repousam os restos mortais de antigos escravos e de ilustres famílias coloniais, tornando este espaço um arquivo vivo da história jamaicana. Ao entrar, a luz do sol atravessa os vitrais e cria sombras coloridas nas paredes de calcário com mais de dois séculos de idade.

Dicas de quem conhece

  • 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.
