Plaza de la Hispanidad or Spain

Plaza Colonial is a charming and historic spot full of life and culture. There's so much to see and do....from exploring the beautiful surroundings to enjoying live music that fills the air. The food is delicious, with plenty of local flavors to try. One of the most peaceful and memorable experiences is feeding the palomas (doves) as you take in the vibrant atmosphere. A perfect place to relax and soak in the beauty of the past and present.

The building itself is temporarily under preservation work. Ancient walls and gates are open.

It's a large plaza with restaurants along the terrace. Checking them out, they seemed nice, though more expensive than other places we've seen Some of the sights are being renovated along here, but otherwise it's a nice open space and the people are interesting to watch. Parking is easy nearby.

Great experience with lots to do and see historically about DR. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes. There are restaurants in the area everywhere, taxis, souvenir shops everywhere.

A must visit while you are in the Santo Domingo. Beautiful old streets. Many restaurants with affordable prices and delicious food. Even Coca-Cola Christmas tree looks good) You can spend many hours just walking around. Only one thing I didn't like - annoying guides who wants to offer their services.

The Alcazar de Colon is being renovated. They have placed the Christmas tree already at the Square. Great area to stroll on a Sunday afternoon.

Open plaza area. Has restaurants on one side and historic architecture on the other side. Becomes very lively during weekends. Try to avoid visiting during high noon because it might get pretty hot. Evening dinner at the restaurants can be a pleasant experience. The restaurants here are priced on the higher end.

The place is so appealing to the history of the city, located in colonial zone at the bank of the river where cruise ships stop. It has statue of the founder of the city and a large open field for events and parties, surrounded by Alcazar, Royal houses and restaurants. You can drive to this place from Punta Cana which is 2 and half hour nice drive or get bus tour to visit this place. Place is little dirty on the side, with lots of garbage disposals including plastic water bottles. City must pass the law to restore this heritage.
