About Santo Domingo

Santo Domingo, the Dominican capital, has a UNESCO-listed colonial quarter of stone churches, forts and cobbled streets beside the Ozama River.

The Zona Colonial of Santo Domingo is one of the oldest European towns in the Americas, a grid of stone streets laid out in the early sixteenth century. Calle Las Damas runs past the Fortaleza Ozama, a fortress above the river. The Catedral Primada de América, begun soon afterwards, is the oldest cathedral in the Americas, and the Alcázar de Colón, a palace built for Columbus's son Diego, overlooks Plaza de España.
