Sanjay Guptaa year agoIt's right at the corner of Columbus Park. The Town Hall is located in Colón Park , in Santo Domingo. The historic building dates from 1502. It was built as the residence of the mayor, but in the 19th century it was completely remodeled, giving it the neoclassical style typical of the time.
Years later, in 1913, the 29-meter-high tower that characterizes the corner of the current town hall was added, where you can see the clock.
Today it’s a contemporary museum, showcasing the history of Santiago through late 19th and early 20th century photographs, including a carnival culture-focused room. Head to the second floor for balcony views over downtown Santiago.
Edwin Guerra2 years agoThis Palace is one of the most beautiful buildings of Santo Domingo (even more beautiful inside)
