Last Update 6/30/2009
Welcome to The Colonial Zone
We strive to be the complete guide to The Colonial Zone (in Spanish it is called Zona Colonial), the oldest city in "The Americas".
The Colonial Zone is a small town nestled in the capital city, Santo Domingo, on the most beautiful island in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic. In 1990 UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) placed us on the World Heritage List.
See the "city of firsts." We hold claim to the first cathedral, monastery, university, customs house and hospital in the "New World". Follow the 11 blocks of historical and fun filled streets within this walled city. There are over three hundred pieces if history including the monuments, homes, streets and churches. So, come and visit our museums, forts and historical buildings dating back to the time of Christopher Columbus' arrival in 1492.
The "Zone" successfully blends the old and the new in a way like no other place can. We have a wide variety of restaurants offering many culinary styles that are sure to please your palate. There is a wide variety of nightlife, clubs with many different music styles for young and old alike. If you want to relax, sit in one of our many parks and people watch while enjoying the soft Caribbean breeze.
I hope you enjoy your visit to our site. Learn about the Colonial Zone and the unique culture and customs of the Dominican Republic. Find out more about our island (we also have information about other parts of this diverse country to see and experience). Then join us here on your next vacation. Experience all the wonderful things this island, (voted the #1 tourist destination in the Caribbean 2008 by Travel Weekly Magazine readers) nestled in the crystal blue Caribbean Sea, has to offer for yourself.
