Parque Colon
We will begin our journey in Parque Colón, which is the epicenter of the Colonial City and serves as a central recreation space. Here, you will find a rich concentration of notable monuments, such as the Catedral Primada de América, the first City Hall of Santo Domingo, the picturesque Calle El Conde, famous restaurants, shops, and many other attractions. In the heart of this park stands a statue of Christopher Columbus, erected in 1887 by the talented French sculptor Ernesto Gilbert.
This cathedral and minor basilica, located in the Colonial City of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, is consecrated to Saint Mary of the Incarnation, also known as the Annunciation. Officially, it is named after Holy Metropolitan Basilica Cathedral Church of Our Lady Saint Mary of the Incarnation or Annunciation. It is located at the intersection of Arzobispo Meriño and Isabela La Católica streets, near Parque Colón, with its main entrance facing west, facing Arzobispo Meriño street, near the corner with Arzobispo Nouel. This cathedral of Santo Domingo holds the title of being the oldest in America, since its construction began in 1512 by order of Pope Julius II. It also serves as the headquarters of the Archdiocese of Santo Domingo and stands as an important historical testimony in the region.
National Pantheon
The National Pantheon is a place dedicated to being a mausoleum where the mortal remains of prominent figures in the history of the Dominican Republic are preserved. This enclosure has around 36 empty spaces intended to house the remains of future national heroes. In addition, it includes a space without a specific plaque in honor of the unknown soldier. In the National Pantheon, there is a permanent honor guard, composed of members of the presidential guard dressed in gala, who remain motionless in their positions. One of them takes a ceremonial tour along the central aisle that goes from the main entrance to just in front of the main altar. In this place, along with the Dominican flag, the flags of the Air Force, Navy and Army of the Dominican Republic are displayed, as a symbol of respect and recognition to the country's armed forces.
