Good place to visit and to imagine the life 500 years ago. The goverment should put more attention and security, speccially about the buildings. But it's ok to take a short walk and eat some dinner ar the restaurants.

This place is awesome. The grand building which is great in every prospect from its magnificent architecture to its surrounding beauty. With its astounding stain glass windows it is decorated with great color. in the middle of the museum is a casket that is said to hold the remains of Christopher Columbus, it is guarded by several men from the Dominican Marines. In the back of the museum is a grand garden with a various amount of flowers and exotic plants. It was also the site where John Paul II came to celebrate mass when he came to the Dominican Republic.

Nothing inside this building is original, even many parts of the walls and all of the roof have been newly rebuilt in recent years. This is because it lay in ruins for over 300 years. Most of the items inside have been brought from other countries.
