Fortaleza Ozama - Santo Domingo

The interior court is big, but the forstress itself is quite small. Can 't climb the highest turn because was closed for restauration. I expected a spectacular view from the top but it was not the case. Also the gun powder building is closed for visiting because there are still remains of powder and could be dangerous

Diego Columbus stole this residence from Diego Salcedo, then the warden of the fortress, was out of town. The king at the time had to intervene to kick Columbus out to remediate the residency of the warden. Beautiful view, interesting stories, overall great experience. There is a restroom by the gate for those walking around the zone and in need of responding to the nature’s call.

One of the most important monuments of the Dominican capital of Santo Domingo. This coral stone building is the oldest military construction of European origin in America. It is shaped like a medieval European castle and its main objective was to protect the city from attacks by English, French and Portuguese pirates and invaders. It also served as a prison connection.

Diego Columbus stole this residence from Diego Salcedo, then the director of the fortress, was from the city. The king had to intervene at the time to exit Columbus to redeem the director's residence. Beautiful view, interesting stories, overall great experience. There is a rest room at the gate for those who have to walk around the zone and respond to the call of nature.

A beautiful structure from the colonial period is a great place to know and understand the history of the Dominican Republic. The view of the city is beautiful, and it is only over many other iconic places. A must-visit. @Aventure.dos
