A beautiful area in Santo Domingo, and a great place for wandering around. The history in this part of town is incredible considering that this was the first city properly settled in the Americas (1496). Definitely a highlight of my trip to the Dominican Republic. Even if you don't want to enter any of the sites it's still where you will likely find yourself when you visit the city!

The first area to visit if ever in Santo Domingo.
Been there twice in a year and a half.
