Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a must-see place along St. Ann’s Bay historical trail in Ocho Rios. Dating back to 1534 when its walls were put in place, it was built by the Spanish when their settlement was moved from the coast to higher ground. It was constructed off cut stone and was originally named for Abbot Peter Martyr of Angleria, Italy. It fell into ruin during the British colonial days and was rebuilt in the Spanish style of architecture between 1939 and 1943 of cut stone and local timber. The current church uses some of the original stones of the Peter Martyr Church and built on an adjacent site to the original church. Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a beautiful architectural attraction forever linked to the early 16th century church.
