About Kingston

Kingston, Jamaica's capital, is a harbour city between the Blue Mountains and the sea, the home of reggae and the Bob Marley Museum.

Kingston lies on a natural harbour sheltered by a long sand spit, the Palisadoes, with the Blue Mountains rising behind. Port Royal, at the tip of the spit, was a pirate haven until an earthquake in 1692 sank much of it, and Fort Charles still stands. The city was founded afterwards on the opposite shore. Devon House, a nineteenth-century mansion, and the National Gallery of Jamaica are in the centre.
