But visitors who venture to Ciudad Colonial (Zona Colonial), one of the city's most historic neighborhoods, will find a small enclave filled with traditional European-style architecture, well-manicured parks, cobblestone streets, and artistic nods to great adventurers.
A mighty bronze statue of Christopher Columbus stands in the center of Parque Colón, and nearby Calle Las Damas is the oldest paved road in the New World.
These historic sites, combined with incredible architecture unlike anywhere in Santo Domingo, are just part of what makes the Zona Colonial a popular destination for travelers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, as well as those who want to experience the nation's capital as it used to be.
