I've been to a lot of Cathedrals all over the world, and while one or two are unique, most of the time they are the same. This one is unique in how bright it is, and feels kinda squatly built. Bring some cash, about 100 per person, to get a ticket and audio tour available in several languages, and casually stroll through and listen to the history and see art that's been here over 500 years. They will evaluate if your clothing is modest enough (long enough, no visible shoulders) and provide coverings if you don't meet the standard.

A beautiful landmark in the heart of the Colonial Zone, it's something you should see if you have the chance to stroll through the area. Christopher Columbus Park is lovely and there are nice restaurants all around.

The first and the oldest standing church in the Americas is definitely worth a visit while you are in Santo Domingo. You will get an audio guide upon entry. Unfortunately, filming is not allowed, and you are limited to only taking photos.

Incredible how this is the oldest cathedral in the Americas from 1540. Still standing and beautiful. It has a mix of Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles that gives an important historical and cultural feature to the city. We heard in the tour that Columbus remains are there, but they’re also in Sevilla. We started researching a lot online after learning about this…

We had a good time exploring and taking pictures, and the tour guide was A1. If you like history, this is the place to go... The first church ⛪️ in America, if you visit santo domingo, go and explore Zona colonial.It's worth the experience!! 19*

Very cheap entry, around 2$ incl audio guide. Nice building but not as impressive as other old cathedrals. But in my eyes a must visit in Santo Domingo, since it is the oldest cathedral of Continents of Amerika.

Absolutely beautiful Gothic style church. The architecture was amazing, and the presentation within was mesmerizing. They do have audio selections for a multitude of languages allowing you know what you were visualizing.
