What people say

Jivanny Terrero
"It is the only building from the 16th century still standing in this city. Built in 1541 to defend the entrance of the port from pirates. From there, you can also explore the Malecon and the amphitheater built a few years ago near it. The fortress is open from Monday to Saturday from 09:00 am to 05:00 pm, and the entrance fee is RD$40.00 (approximately USD$1.00). "
