Firefly

Noel Coward's Home · St. Mary

Rating: 4.6 / 5

Sir Noel Coward's modest hilltop home above Port Maria in St. Mary, where the English playwright, composer, and actor spent his later years and where he died in 1973. The house has been preserved with much of its original furniture, including the Wedgwood china set out for the Queen Mother's visit in 1965 and Coward's writing desk overlooking one of the most spectacular sea views in the Caribbean. Coward is buried on the lawn, and Firefly is now managed as a heritage attraction.

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.
