Duration: 5 hours (approx.)
Location: Montego Bay, Jamaica
Product code: 3316ROSE
Visit the Rose Hall Great house, the most famous building in Jamaica. It is a Georgian Mansion with a stone base and a plastered upper storey, high on the hillside, with a fantastic panorama over the coast. Built in the 1770s, Rose Hall was restored in the 1960s to its former splendor, with mahogany floors, interior windows and doorways, paneling and wooden ceilings. It is decorated with silk wallpaper, ornamented with chandeliers and furnished with mostly European antiques.
Rose Hall is most famous for the story of its mistress Annie Palmer, who came here in 1820, and the fanciful legends of underground tunnels, bloodstains and hauntings. A renowned beauty, Annie Palmer was widely feared as a black magician, and she is also supposed to have dispatched three husbands (by poison, by stabbing and then pouring boiling oil into his ears, and by strangling) and innumerable lovers, including slaves, whom she simply killed when she was bored of them. Legend has it that the 4ft 11ins high woman was eventually murdered in her bed by a slave, however there is no historical evidence to substantiate this tale.
There's a bar downstairs as well as a restaurant so you are able to enjoy a light snack. You will also have some time for some shopping at the Half Moon Shopping Center (duty-free and souvenir shopping) before heading back to your hotel.
