Delve into the colonial history of the Dominican Republic on this free walking tour of Santo Domingo's Ciudad Colonial and discover its most emblematic monuments.
Free Walking Tour of Ciudad Colonial
After meeting up at the agreed time at the Museum of the Royal Houses, we'll begin our free walking tour of Santo Domingo's Ciudad Colonial, or "Colonial City".
The first stop on our guided tour will be the ruins of the Monastery of San Francisco, where we'll learn all about the history of the monastery, considered to be the oldest in the Americas.
We'll then continue onwards to the ruins of the San Nicolás de Bari Hospital. Built at the beginning of the 16th century, this is recognised by UNESCO as being the oldest hospital in the Americas.
Next, we'll make stops to admire the façade of the Church and Convent of the Dominican Order and the architecture of the Cathedral of Santa María la Menor, a beautiful fusion of Gothic, Mudejar, Renaissance and Plateresque styles.
Having strolled past the Palacio Consistorial, we'll reach the lively city square known as Parque Colón, where our hour-long free walking tour of the Ciudad Colonial will end.
