Abstract

Santo Domingo’s Colonial City (Ciudad Colonial in Spanish) was established in 1498 by Christopher Columbus, making it the first European settlement in the New World and the site of the first cathedral, hospital, customs house and university in the Americas. The city was laid out on a grid pattern that became the model for almost all town planners in the New World (UNESCO 2014). It is located along the western bank of the Ozama River and is about one square kilometer in size (see fold-out map).
