The fist of my photos from the Flickr North Coast trip. This is the very old The Spanish Town Iron Bridge, a hallmark structure in the former capital Spanish Town.

@Manel: Well it was built by the Spanish when they occupied Jamaica. The town is called Spanish Town as it was the capital town when the Spanish had colonized Jamaica.

Is it made from cast iron? I saw a very old cast iron bridge in England, long time ago...
