After Christopher Columbus's arrival on the island in 1492, Santo Domingo became the site of the first cathedral, monastery, hospital, customs house and university in the Americas. This colonial town, founded in 1498, was laid out on a grid pattern that became the model for almost all town planners in the New World. UNESCO has declared the Colonial City a world heritage site.

    Yoly, felicitaciones, muy bien hecho.
    He estado en la Zona Colonial muchas veces y me trae gratos recuerdo, y la música de fondo el merengue "Compadre pedro Juan...", muy conocido en mi país Guatemala y me gusta MUCHO,(aúnque no se bailar, ja,ja,ja...). Me gustaría ver otros, si tienes oportunidad, mandalos a mi correo, grácias ! .-
