This is the Parish Council in the Square in Spanish Town. It houses the Mayor's Parlour and several government offices. The Town Council meets weekly to decide on matters in this town. You are looking directly at History - this is one of Jamaica's most important buildings. Here His Worship, Dr. Andrew Wheatley, Mayor of this city receives citizens, ambassadors and people from all over the world. The Secretary/Manager is Mr. Michael Morris who oversees the decisions made in this town

This building which houses the Parish Council, boasts some of the most impressive architecture. Note the Post and Lintel architecture, coupled with the Gothic Arches. 

 

If you want to have an event, a wedding, a celebration, or simply sit in the park, we invite you to come home and have it here in the Park in the Square.

Spanish Town Iron Bridge, which spans the Rio Cobre river at the eastern end of Spanish Town, can be seen from the bridge that is currently being used. The abutment of the bridge is constructed with cut stone while the bridge is cast iron. It is about 81ft long and 15ft wide.

 

This bridge, erected in 1801, at a cost of four thousand pounds is the oldest bridge of its kind in the Western Hemisphere.

The Spanish Town Cathedral, also known as the St. Catherine Parish Church, was built in the second half of the seventeenth century. After the conquest of Jamaica by the British in 1655, the British destroyed the original Catholic Church and replaced it with the Anglican Church, which is now the St. Catherine Parish Church or the Spanish Town Cathedral.
