Falmouth Historic Town

Georgian Town · Trelawny

Rating: 4.6 / 5

Georgian port town in Trelawny parish on Jamaica's north coast, widely regarded as the most intact Georgian town in the Caribbean. Falmouth grew prosperous in the late 18th and early 19th centuries on the back of the sugar trade, and today its streets retain period townhouses, the Albert George Market, the Baptist Manse, the courthouse, and the famous William Knibb Memorial Baptist Church associated with emancipation. The town is also the home port for the large Falmouth cruise pier.

About culture in Jamaica

Jamaica is a cultural superpower — birthplace of reggae, dancehall, ska, rocksteady, and dub. The Bob Marley Museum in Kingston and Bob Marley Mausoleum at Nine Mile in St. Ann are pilgrimages for fans worldwide. Devon House National Heritage Site, Trench Town Culture Yard, and the National Gallery tell the Kingston story. Up north, Rose Hall Great House, Greenwood Great House, and Falmouth's Georgian streets reveal the plantation past. Port Royal, the old pirate capital, sits at the end of the Palisadoes peninsula.
