Number one to see in Santo Domingo is Faro a Colon & Columbus lighthouse, a monument dedicated to the remembrance of the famous explorer. If you would like to thank Mr Columbus for discovering America, you can do so in the cathedral of Santa Maria la Menor, the oldest church in the West Indies, which was built in the early 1500s, where he is buried. You should also check out Las Tarrenas, especially if you are interested in arts and would like to have a look in the local galleries.
