Santo Domingo
Santo Domingo is the capital and largest city of the Dominican Republic, with the largest metropolitan area in the Caribbean. It is the earliest European town in the Americas, having been founded in 1496 on the Ozama River.
It also boasts a number of other firsts in the New World, including the Spanish empire's capital, a fortress (Alcazar de Colon), a monastery, a cathedral (Cathedral Santa Maria la Menor), and a university. The historic area of Santo Domingo, where you'll discover grand structures representing Middle Ages architecture, is, of course, the greatest site to take in this rich history. The Fortaleza Ozama, the Americas' oldest fortification, may also be seen.
