Welcome to The Colonial Zone
We strive to be the complete guide to The Colonial Zone (in Spanish it is called Zona Colonial or Cuidad Colonial, also known in years past as Nueva Isabella, Cuidad Trujillo and Santo Domingo), the oldest constantly inhabited 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 holding the oldest permanent settlement in the New World. 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. (More history in a nut shell here).
