Kingston is Jamaica at its most real, a large city of contrasts located between the east coast and the Blue Mountains, far from the north coast resort towns. From the rich northern suburbs to the less affluent downtown, Kingston's variety is reflected in its many neighbourhoods. At the Bob Marley Museum, visitors can learn about the spirit of One Love, or indulge in some delectable ice cream at Devon House. The old capital of Spanish Town, which is close by, provides insight into the region's past.

Description
The Cathedral of St. Jago de la Vega is a church steeped in the history of both Spanish Town and the Church of England's founding in Jamaica. The church took on the responsibility of functioning in two unique capacities after being designated as a Cathedral on November 28, 1843. Up until 1872, when Spanish Town ceased to be the capital of Jamaica, it provided a shelter for spiritual growth for the parishioners of St. Catherine as well as a means of facilitating governmental rites and procedures for the island.
Fountains and public art can be found throughout the six-acre park. The park's main entrance is noted for the enormous sculpture Redemption Song. Redemption Song is an 11 ft. (about 3m) high bronze sculpture by Jamaican artist Laura Facey, inspired by Bob Marley's song of the same name. The sculpture depicts a male and female figure staring up towards the sky, symbolising their triumph over slavery's horrors. In July 2003, just in time for the park's first anniversary, the statue was unveiled.
The Bob Marley Museum is a museum dedicated to the reggae musician Bob Marley, located in Kingston, Jamaica. The museum is located at 56 Hope Road in Kingston, where Bob Marley used to live. It was the home of The Wailers' Tuff Gong reggae record label, which was launched in 1970.
