Probably the most important place to visit in Santo Domingo, this part of the city dates from the time of the Spanish conquest in the America’s and is well know as the first Spanish European establishment in the new world!
Stroll around the first European Colonial district in the New World and admire its historical buildings. Founded by Bartolomé Columbus in 1496, the city of Santo Domingo was almost completely built during the 16th century. Firstly located on the east bank of the Ozama River, it was the first city built by the spaniards during the American continent. Despite this, in 1502 it was moved to the west side of the river by the command of Nicolás de Ovando, governor of La Española at the time, thus founding the new city of Santo Domingo de Guzmán. Some time later, in 1507, the city obtained the Royal Statute of being the first European city located in the New World. In 1990, the UNESCO declared it World Heritage Site, appraising it as one of the most beautiful old towns in the Caribbean. Going through the gorgeous streets of the Colonial area, you’ll discover buildings from the early years of the 1500s, such as the Alcázar de Colón Fortress, the Primada Cathedral or the Ozama Fortress, among many others. The main streets composing its valued heritage are El Conde, Las Damas and Las Mercedes.
