Santo Domingo is the historical capital city of the Dominican Republic and is both the largest and the oldest European settlement in the Americas. It wears its significant age as a badge of honor, with the Colonial Zone having earned UNESCO World Heritage status.
Here, you can see Alcázar de Colón, Basilica Cathedral of Santa María la Menor and Casa del Cordón – respectively the first castle and first cathedral and the oldest stone building still standing in the Americas. And that’s just a few of the highlights.
