Itinerary
We will begin our journey in Parque Colón, which is the epicenter of the Colonial City and serves as a central recreation space. Here, you will find a rich concentration of notable monuments, such as the Catedral Primada de América, the first City Hall of Santo Domingo, the picturesque Calle El Conde, famous restaurants, shops, and many other attractions. In the heart of this park stands a statue of Christopher Columbus, erected in 1887 by the talented French sculptor Ernesto Gilbert.
This cathedral and minor basilica, located in the Colonial City of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, is consecrated to Saint Mary of the Incarnation, also known as the Annunciation. Officially, it is named after Holy Metropolitan Basilica Cathedral Church of Our Lady Saint Mary of the Incarnation or Annunciation. It is located at the intersection of Arzobispo Meriño and Isabela La Católica streets, near Parque Colón, with its main entrance facing west, facing Arzobispo Meriño street, near the corner with Arzobispo Nouel.
The National Pantheon is a place dedicated to being a mausoleum where the mortal remains of prominent figures in the history of the Dominican Republic are preserved. This enclosure has around 36 empty spaces intended to house the remains of future national heroes. In addition, it includes a space without a specific plaque in honor of the unknown soldier.
The Museum of the Royal Houses, previously known as the Royal Palaces at the time of the Captaincy General and the province, is based in two palaces dating from the 16th century. It was built by order of the Crown of Castile, under the reign of Ferdinand II of Aragon.
The Alcázar of Columbus was erected between 1511 and 1514, taking as inspiration the design of a previously existing castle in Mancera de Abajo, Salamanca (Spain), of which there are still vestiges in ruins.
