5. La Casa del Cordón

ZONA COLONIAL.   It was twenty years after Columbus's 1492 voyage that Spanish explorers and colonists built the first Spanish-style house in Santo Domingo. La Casa del Cordón, which still stands, was the first home of Diego Columbus, Christopher's son, before he moved into the palace, Alcazar de Colon. Today, the house offers a small museum, but more importantly, it stands as a landmark tribute to one of history's most significant eras.   (© 10Best)
