One of Santo Domingo's most symbolic streets is La Atarazana. Centuries old, regal and heartwarming. La Atarazana, situated in the heart of the citys's Colonial Zone, comfortably finds its way to Santo Domingo's best bank, exactly to the spot where the Spanish conquistadors originally built the first wall to protect the recently established metropolis from pirates.
Built in the early 16th century during the burgeoning years of the Age of Exploration, the palace of Alcázar de Colón stands as a tribute to explorers and nations who helped settle the New World. Diego Columbus, son of Christopher, was the palace's first resident and the city's first governor.
