Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, goes at a much faster rhythm than the rest of the cuntry. With the soaring blue mountains as a backdrop, it is undoubtedly the government, commercial and cultural center of the island... Located on the southeastern coast of Jamaica, Kingston was founded at the end of the seventeenth century and very quickly became the greatest city in the West Indies. The main driving force was its fabulous location, built on an expansive natural harbor - the seventh largest in the world - which became the cornerstone of future trading success.The largest English-speaking city in the Americas south of the United States, Kingston, also known as the “Heartbeat of Jamaica” is a mosaic of contrasts - the ancient and the avant-garde, the timeless and the trendy, the classic and the chic. Most importantly Kingston is also a survivor. Having overcome centuries of earthquakes, fires, floods and hurricanes, this strong metropolis deserves an award for determination and resilience.  |
