The Giddy House is a historic structure in Port Royal that famously tilted during the 1907 earthquake, leaving its floors and walls at a disorienting angle. Now a museum, it showcases artifacts and exhibits about the earthquake and Port Royal's colorful past. Visitors can experience the surreal sensation of walking on a slanted floor, making it a unique photo opportunity and a tangible connection to Jamaica's seismic history.
