Bob Marley Mausoleum (9 Mile Reggae Land)
Bob Marley was born on February 6th, 1945. He died on May 11th, 1981. Visiting this small town is a priority for all tourists, cruise ship and stopover passengers alike from Ocho Rios, Falmouth, Montego Bay, Grand Palladium and from as far as Negril in the west. Nine Mile is a tiny village in hills of St. Ann where the reggae legend, Bob Marley was born, and fittingly, the place he’s now laid to rest.
Although Bob Marley moved to Kingston at age 13 to live with his mother and to advance his music career, he would often return to Nine Miles to get away from the fast pace life of Kingston. Home is where the heart is and Bob Marley wrote several of his hit songs while lying on his favorite rock that he used as a pillow right next to his little one room dwelling in a section of the property that he like to refer to as "Mount Zion".
Nine Mile Jamaica was always his home and to have the full experience of Bob Marley; you will have to visit this town. An hour and a half tour of this settlement will leave you breathless also with a greater understanding of the legend Bob became; in fact, the community today is pretty much how it was in Bob Marley’s early days. A Rastafarian tour guide will be on hand to guide you around the property and answer all your questions. Listen to the sounds of a live reggae band playing some of Bob Marley’s greatest hits while you tour the property is just what you need!
Still present, is his first home, utensils and the very bed he slept in as a young child also as an adult when he would return on his many “cooling out” visits.
The Nine Mile Tour includes his birth and resting place, what he liked to do and Mount Zion, the spot where he drew his inspiration from to write his songs. Visit the nearby Ethiopian church where his body was laid to rest with his guitar. Please remove your shoes before you enter as a sign of respect. Feel free to look around.
