Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Santo Domingo Dominican Republic

Santo Domingo is the capital city of the Dominican Republic. It is situated on the south central coast of the island and is recognized as the oldest European city in the Americas. The Colonial Zone serves as an ideal starting point for tourists exploring Santo Domingo. This area, nestled between Independence Park and the Ozama River, is home to the first city established in the New World by European settlers. The first street in the Americas, Calle de Las Damas, is located here and showcases numerous examples of 15th and 16th century architecture, including the Ozama Fortress, the oldest fortress in the Americas, and the Alcázar de Colón. The Museo de las Casas Reales, a restored 16th century palace of the Spanish Court, is of significant historical interest and offers a fascinating look into the past. Close to the walled city, visitors can find the Cathedral Basilica Santa Maria la Menor, regarded as the first cathedral in the New World. As tourists wander the narrow streets of the Colonial Zone, they will feel as though history is coming to life. The Zone concludes at the Malecón, also known as George Washington Avenue. El Malecón is a seaside boulevard filled with bistros, bars, and discos, and is the site of the Dominican Carnival held in February. Santo Domingo is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city brimming with historical colonial sites and exuding Latin charm from every street and plaza.
