Description

Palacio Virreinal De Diego Colon is a fascinating 16th century palace in Santo Domingo, being the first fortified residence from the Spanish colonization of the New World.

This architectural gem combines Spanish Renaissance, Italian Renaissance, Gothic and mudéjar styles, impressing with its symmetrical structure with double loggias.

Inside, period furniture, tapestries and artwork from the 14th-16th centuries await you. This is the place where conquistadors like Cortés and Balboa planned their expeditions - a true trip back in time to America's colonial past!

avatarEvens Dossou6 years agoWonderful museum Great staff
avatarLuis Enrique Miranda2 years agoThis was the home of Diego Colón, son of Christopher Columbus. It has two floors. An affordable fee applies. Guide service is available. It is located behind the mouth of the Ozama River, the port of entry to the city of Santo Domingo.
avatarEmilse Enriz3 years agoBeautiful place to learn about and visit the history of America. You pay to enter, everything is very neat and clean. Very good attention. Super recommended, no problems.
