Ocho Rios,
Jamaica
Seville Great House is a wattle-and-daub structure that was built in 1745 by the British. Besides being a permanent showcase of native island artefacts, it hosts the Emancipation Jubilee, an event which combines Jamaican folk forms with a celebration of African ancestry, and Jamaica's contribution to Emancipation. Exhibits include Jamaican traditional cuisine and craft, and the Seville Heritage Park is transformed for the occasion into a 19th-century setting, filled with an atmosphere of celebration and festivity.
