A good introduction to Jamaica is to visit National Heroes Park, where you can find monuments commemorating the most important persons of the country.
At this side of the National Park, which is still under construction to an extent where the beautiful monuments seem almost out of order, there are also some tombs for famous religious leaders of the country, surrounded by flowers. From here, it is a short walk south towards the main area of the park. Here, you can find the eternal flame, as well as a cenotaph in honour of the Jamaicans who were killed in combat in the two World Wars of the 20th century, with two red-uniformed guards. The cenotaph is topped by a white cross, and finds itself at the crossroads of two lanes with more monuments. Close by is the remarkable monument to Norman Manley, another former Prime Minister. It consists of twelve pillars, and his tomb has the shape of a star. The monument is actually lower than the park itself, and it is possible to enter the area. This allows for a better view of the statues of a man and a woman, symbolizing the birth of the Jamaican nation.
