4. The Ozama Fortress is part of the Colonial City of Santo Domingo. According to historians and architects, the construction of this monument lasted from 1502 to 1508, which was started by Governor Nicolás Ovando. The main objective of this construction was to protect the city from various attacks by English pirates, and from French and Portuguese invaders. The Ozama Fortress was called during the colonial era Torre del Homenaje, although later it was also called Torre de la Vigía or de la Vigilancia, since in the upper part you could see the entrance of the Ozama river and the coast of the Caribbean Sea.

5. The building was one of the last buildings built by the Spanish on Dominican soil. The date of the beginning of its construction is not known with certainty, but some historians suppose that it was between the years 1714 and 1755 and it is attributed to Jerónimo Quesada y Garçon. It originally served as a church for the Jesuit order. The National Pantheon has about 36 empty spaces to house future heroes. There is also an empty space without a plaque, dedicated to the unknown soldier. There is a permanent Honor Guard, made up of members of the presidential guard, dressed in gala clothes, without moving a single muscle. One of them makes a solemn round walk in the central aisle, which goes from the main entrance to just in front of the main altar. In the pantheon, together with the Dominican flag, the flags of the Air Force, the Navy and the Army of the Dominican Republic are displayed.

About Punta Cana

Punta Cana, on the Dominican Republic's eastern tip, is a coast of palm-lined white beaches, calm reef-protected water and easygoing island days.

The area stretches along a long sweep of coastline, from Bávaro Beach and Cabeza de Toro to Macao and Uvero Alto, where coconut palms lean over soft white sand. Coral reefs offshore keep the water calm and clear in many spots, ideal for swimming, snorkelling and catamaran outings along the shore.
