Shaare Shalom is Jamaica’s only synagogue which was built in 1911. Being the country's only remaining Synagogue, they welcome Orthodox, Reformed and Convert Jews. You can organize a private tour, which comes with a Tour Guide for 5 to 20 people, just call ahead to book it. The hall houses a gift shop and the history of the Jamaican Jews, from Christopher Columbus to present day.

All very intricate. The site itself is all still quaint but in it maintained in this fashion for posterity and authenticity.

With a Christian majority...
