Lovers of historical tourism will find a little piece of the first
colonial years at the Oldest City of America. It has preserved in
excellent condition the colonial architecture. UNESCO has
included the Dominican
Colonial City in the "World Heritage" list. Cobblestone
narrow streets and warm marine breeze tell the story of more than
five hundred years of history. They lead to the first monuments
ever built in the New World, such as the cathedral "Catedral Primada
de América," the University of Santo Tomás de Aquino, the oldest
fortress "Fortaleza Ozama," the Alcázar de Colón house of Diego
Colón, and several churches.
Other cities such as Santiago de los Caballeros and Puerto Plata also have interesting historical sites to explore.
