Altar de la Patria

Altar de la Patria is an impressive white marble monument commemorating the founding fathers of the Dominican Republic.

This majestic structure hides the remains of three national heroes: Juan Pablo Duarte, Francisco del Rosario Sánchez and Matías Ramón Mella, known as Los Trinitarios.

An eternal fire burns inside, symbolizing the nation's freedom, and sculptures by Italian artist Nicholas Arrighini add a unique touch to the place. It's the perfect place for history buffs who want to experience the Dominican Republic's cultural heritage in a setting of tranquil gardens.
