Final answer:

The capital and largest city of Jamaica is Kingston, known for its harbor protected by the Palisadoes and proximity to the Blue Mountains, famous for Blue Mountain coffee production.

Step-by-step explanation:

The capital and largest city of Jamaica is Kingston, which features a namesake harbor protected by the Palisadoes, a thin strip of land that stretches out into the sea and guards the Kingston Harbour. Kingston is the largest predominantly English-speaking city in the south of the United States and sits at the foot of the Blue Mountains. A notable landmark within the city is Hope Gardens.

Historically, after being settled by the Spanish in the early 16th century and later taken over by the English, Jamaica became known for its plantation economy centered around sugar, cocoa, and coffee, particularly in the Blue Mountains area famous for Blue Mountain coffee production. Jamaica achieved full independence from Britain in 1962.
