From the Dominican Republic World / Places

Alcázar de Colón

This palace museum stands above Plaza de España in Santo Domingo’s Colonial City. It brings the former seat of the Columbus family into a walk among the riverfront monuments.

Alcázar de Colón

Why go

The Alcázar gives the Colonial City a domestic and political counterpart to its cathedral and fort. Its palace rooms and art displays bring a different scale to the colonial story, while the plaza outside shows how the building commands its setting above the Ozama. Visit it as a museum rather than treating it only as a photo stop.

What to look for

  • Palace rooms and historical displays
