Saint Catherine Parish

Saint Catherine Parish extends over 1,192 square kilometers south of Kingston, containing Spanish Town and numerous agricultural regions across its territory.

The parish establishment dates to 1664, receiving its name from Catherine of Siena and serving as a central area for sugar production during colonial times.

The St. Jago de la Vega Cathedral in Spanish Town represents centuries of religious architecture and stands as a testament to Jamaican colonial heritage.

The parish connects to Kingston through multiple transportation routes, offering markets, accommodations, and essential services throughout Spanish Town and Portmore.

Spanish Town, the former capital of Jamaica for over 300 years, preserves Georgian architecture in its central square and governmental buildings.
