I went with a large group of persons to this attraction, and my experience was not that great. For one thing the rooms were small and the group had to cram inside to be able to see and hear the what the guide was talking about. The guide's english was not very good so understanding him properly was a problem... More

I loved the arched style of this building. I believe it was built in the 1500's and was used as the governors home. There are a lot of historical artifacts inside. It's a great place to take photos, right next to the river Ozama. Make sure you eat dinner at one of the restaurants across the way. This site looks... More

This place is amazing, is unbelivable that one Christopher Columbus son lived here. The history on this place is interesting. More

The Dominican Republic is an interesting place. I loved their courtesy and I was surprised by their pride in their Country. I have visited Little Haiti in Santo Domingo, and I got a glimpse of the poverty that lies just outside the border. The Christopher Columbus house and artifacts were very interesting and the nature is splendid. More

We visited here on 19th November 2008 as part of a Santo Domingo Tour. The price was included within the excursion cost although it was cheap to visit on its own. It is a wonderful place to visit, the building itself is situated in a convenient location and has wonderful views from the balconies. The tour guides are all very... More
