Port Royal Attractions Jamaica

Port Royal - Fort Charles

Port Royal is a village located at the end of the Palisadoes at the mouth of Kingston Harbour, in southeastern Jamaica. Founded in 1494 by the Spanish, it was once the largest city in the Caribbean, functioning as the centre of shipping and commerce in the Caribbean Sea by the latter half of the 17th century. An earthquake devastated the city in 1692, sinking much of its land beneath the sea. The few survivors rebuilt on the site of the present Kingston, across the bay.

Fort Charles was a stronghold located at the bustling harbor town of Port Royal. Located on a bluff overlooking the harbor, Fort Charles was one of England's biggest government forts in the Caribbean. The fort served as the base of operations for British Royal Navy forces commanded by Commodore James Norrington.
The cannons that point out from the battlements were a menacing warning to pirates cruising offshore.

Devon House

One of Jamaica’s most celebrated historic landmarks, the Devon House Mansion is the architectural dream of Jamaica’s first black millionaire, George Stiebel.
The Devon House mansion is a beautiful blend of Caribbean and Georgian architecture, furnished with an expertly curated collection of Jamaican, English and French antique pieces and reproductions. The Mansion overlooks a vast expanse of perfectly manicured and lush, green lawns.
Devon House has since evolved from being a private home to being synonymous with fun, family entertainment and recreation in Kingston, where guests can tour, shop, dine and relax.
