Faro a Colón
Faro a Colón is a monumental memorial east of the Ozama River. Its scale and modern design offer a sharp change from the stone buildings of the Colonial City.

The lighthouse is worth considering for its architecture and commemorative role, especially if you want to see how a later Santo Domingo marked the Columbus story. Its long, low form occupies a very different urban setting from the old center across the river. Give it a separate outing rather than folding it into a Colonial City walk.
