Review:
Santo Domingo, the capital city of the Dominican Republic, is one of the oldest and most historic cities in the Caribbean. Originally founded in 1494, the city of Santo Domingo contains a walled town center, called the Zona Colonial, with cobblestone streets, beautiful old buildings, and the first cathedral to have been constructed in the New World by European settlers. Some of the buildings here, like the Alcazar de Colon Palace, have been refitted as museums or business spaces, and while on a walk through the streets and plazas of Santo Domingo, visitors can stop for a drink or a bite to eat from a number of delicious cafes and restaurants.
