Nine Mile, Mountain town in Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica

Nine Mile sits in a rural setting among the Dry Harbour Mountains, with limestone soil and natural vegetation surrounding the small community of 300 residents.

Bob Marley entered the world in Nine Mile on February 6, 1945, marking the beginning of a musical journey that would influence global reggae culture.

The district maintains two mausoleums within a small Ethiopian-style church, containing the remains of Bob Marley and his mother Cedella Booker.

Visitors reach Nine Mile via road connections from Brown's Town, with guided tours available through the Marley family compound throughout the year.

A 2.5-meter marble mausoleum houses Bob Marley's remains alongside personal items including his guitars, awards, and the stone he used for meditation.
