skip this if you're not dominican. the space is forgettable and since we weren't fluent or familiar with the national heroes, there was not much to hold our interest

This is a very patriotic mausoleum dedicated to Dominicans who have died. The three founders of the DR are buried here as well as the people who assassinated Trujillo. There isn't very good signage and it would have been helpful to have it all explained. Good to see though either way.

This is a site of profound importance to Dominicans but i'm afraid visitors will be a little underwhelmed. In part, because there's no explanation of whom the various figures are who are interred there.

For someone who loves history or old architecture, this is a great place to spend a half hour while on a walking tour of the Colonial Zone. Entrance is free. And the old stone walls always offer a cool respite.

This was a jesuit church until they were kicked off the island for standing up for the rights of the indigenous indians. Then it because the resting place for the greatest domincian hereos. Ironically, Trujillo wanted to be buried there, but instead they buried his assassins in their honor.

This a free look into amazing history and art. This building near the Alcazar de Colon is resting place for many Dominican patriots and leaders. There are military guards and an eternal flame, high alcove painting reminiscent of Italian cathedrals, a large candelabra from Franco and lattice metal work from A. Hitler. The tourist guides will want a tip but... More

This is a must visit if you are in the Colonial zone of Santo Domingo. The building has undergone many changes since first being a Jesuit church. Now containing the remains of many of the forefather's of the Dominican Republic.

This was so cool...the history here is in the air...old fortress with a view to die for and and a beautiful old cemetery that just takes your breath away...

this is a great site to visit if you have looked into any of the history of the Dominican Republic. very detailed.
