SANTO DOMINGO, ZONA COLONIAL

Descripción del servicio

1990, UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site and today it is one of the most emblematic historic centers in the Caribbean. Walking through the beautiful streets of the colonial zone you will discover buildings from the early 1500s, such as the Alcázar de Colón, the Primada Cathedral or the Ozama Fortress, among many others. The main streets that make up the appreciated heritage are Calle del Conde, Las Damas and Las Mercedes. An interesting tour of the area can be done by accessing the El Conde gate, which gives access to the pedestrian street of the same name, located in front of Independencia Park, and which crosses the entire area until it reaches the Ozama River. Along the shore you will find a great variety of colonial buildings that testify to the emergence of the city and how, from them, the built space expanded inland. Of course, you can access all these interesting constructions after paying the corresponding entrance fee. This initial route, which ends in Plaza España, allows you to get to know the first points of interest in the Colonial City. Places such as Parque Colón, the Ozama fortress, the cathedral, the National Pantheon or the Alcázar de Colón stand before you as you walk through this historic pass.
