Alcázar De Colón - Santo Domingo

Officers outside said closed for at least SIX months. It’s May 2023. The courtyard area is nice.

Very important place when it comes to the history of the first conquerors of America There’s audio guides in multiple languages and you can easily walk through and see it all

Please go. It s very interesting, especially if you come from Europe, you will feel a “vibe”

This is well worth visiting. The audio guide is quite brief but gives useful information. It’s provides a good insight into how grand and commanding this building was when constructed. Good views over the river and fortifications. Don’t miss spotting the building that used to be the stables in the plaza. It is also a cool shelter from the heat of the day.
