Yes this is a nice place everytime I need to clear my mind I took a walk in the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo....

But there is another colonial site in the DR that is almost as important as SD one. it is la Vega Vieja. its true that an earthquake destroyed it. but its importance as a colonoal site is well know among Dominicans... especially Veganos..........

"Very true. I know there are other colonial zones in Santiago and in San Pedro de Macrois."

Unless you're referring to the ruins in Jarague there is no colonial architecture in Santiago. All except one of Santiago's buildings were destroyed during the War for Restoration of The Republic that was waged against the Spaniards. What you might be mistaking as colonial architecture might be the victorian style houses that are found throughout the city. I've never been to San Pedro but I'm pretty sure that it wasn't a city during the Spanish colonial period and so I doubt that there will be any examples of colonial architecture there. In the interior and in the north the only exapmles of colonial architecture that I can think of besides the ruins in jaragua and la vega already mentioned are the Fortaleza de San Felipe in Puerto Plata and Ponce de Leon's home in Yuma. These structures actually date to colonial times. Keep in mind that for something to be considered actual colonial architecture it would have to date from the spanish colonial period.
