Plantation House · Mobay

Rating: 4.4 / 5

Restored Georgian plantation great house on a hill east of Montego Bay, best known in popular imagination through the legend of Annie Palmer, the so-called White Witch of Rose Hall, who according to 19th-century folklore murdered three husbands and many enslaved workers before being killed herself. The house has been restored to its early-19th-century appearance and offers daytime historical tours as well as candlelit ghost tours in the evening, and sits within the wider Rose Hall resort and golf complex.

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.
