Trinity Cathedral

Kingston


Open only for services, this cathedral, built in 1908, is the seat of the Roman Catholic church in Jamaica. It is noted for having been the site of Norman Manley’s funeral (attended by such dignitaries as Fidel Castro) as well as a small wall of mosaics dating back to Spanish times.
