The Giddy House

The Giddy House is a tilted brick artillery store in Port Royal, Kingston Parish, Jamaica, dramatically leaning at a sharp angle since the 1907 earthquake shifted its foundations. Originally part of the Royal Artillery complex at Fort Charles, the structure's extreme tilt creates a disorienting sensation when visitors walk inside, giving it the name Giddy House. The building has remained frozen in its earthquake-shifted position for over a century, serving as a vivid reminder of the seismic forces that repeatedly struck Port Royal. The Giddy House sits adjacent to Fort Charles and the Maritime Museum within the historic Port Royal military compound.
