Santo Domingo

 

A city of constrasts, with its cliffs beaten by the turquoise water, the Dominican capital is the first European city of the new world.

It has conserved from its colonial past some wonderful buildings which give an unique profile to this caribbean city.

With more of 2 000 000 residents, Santo Domingo constitutes the biggest and most populated city in the Dominican Republic, being the financial, industrial and commercial center.

 The colonial area expands on the Ozama river bank, and its streets form a draughtboard.

Many buildings have kept their walls from the 16th century.
