Duarte Park

Duarte Park is a historic gem in the heart of the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo, named after one of the founding fathers of the Dominican Republic.

The centerpiece of the park is an impressive sculpture of Juan Pablo Duarte on a three-tiered pedestal, commemorating his fiery independence speeches.

It is a lively gathering place for local bohemians - artists, musicians and diverse cultural groups. In the evenings, especially on weekends, the park comes alive as a popular pre-party spot where people can relax before heading out into the city's nightlife.
