Panteon Nacional, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Panteon Nacional
What is today the Panteon Nacional or National Mausoleum, was the last building constructed by the Spaniards in Santo Domingo. Built between 1714 and 1748, it originally served as a church consisting of a central nave and two lateral chapels.
Here the Jesuit Fathers gave mass with their backs turned to the congregation. They turned their backs to the congregation so that Jesus Christ would be in front of them and in this way all would face Jesus. The organ was in the back and the chorus sang from the balconies above.
Next to the Jesuit Church on the Calle de las Damas was a small plaza known as the Plazoleta de Maria de Toledo, which was used by the priests to talk and to pass the time before giving mass.
When the Jesuits were expelled for having allied themselves politically, the building passed through a succession of uses. It was used as a warehouse for tobacco, a theatre, a school and as headquarters for various governmental institutions.
In 1955, during the reign of the dictator, Trujillo, it was restored and declared the Panteon Nacional, a cemetery for national heroes. The chandelier that hangs from the ceiling is made of bronze and was a gift from General Francisco Franco the dictator of Spain to Trujillo.
Under the chandelier is the eternal flame that burns 24 hours a day.
Only one foreigner is interred in the Panteon Nacional, Eugenio Maria de Hostos, who fought for Puerto Rican independence without obtaining it and it was his dying wish to be buried in an independent nation.
In the Dominican Republic, he founded the first school for teachers.
On the ceiling of the Panteon Nacional is a mural by the Spanish artist, Rafael Pellicer, called Ascensión a los Cielos (Ascension to Heaven) and El Juicio Final (The final Judgment.)
Other heroes interred in the Panteon Nacional include, Concepcion Bona, the designer of the Dominican flag, Americo Lugo, the great Dominican historian, General Pedro Santana, our first constitutional president, the Admirals Juan Bautista Canbiaso and Juan Alejandro Acosta, founders of the Dominican Navy and Emilio Prud'homme and José Reyés who wrote the words and music for the Dominican National Anthem.
The 36 tombs that do not bear names are for future heroes and the one with no marking is for the Unknown Soldier.
At the entrance to the Panteon Nacional, an Honor Guard stands at attention remaining absolutely still.
The flags of the various branches of the Dominican Armed Forces fly within the Panteon Nacional: the Army, Navy, Air Force and National Police.

Santo Domingo Travel Guide - Dominican Republic wonderful Memories
Santo Domingo Travel Guide - Dominican Republic wonderful Memories
Santo Domingo is the capital of the Dominican Republic and the oldest European city in the Americas. The old city is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Santo Domingo is the capital city of the Dominican Republic, and it prides itself in being the first European city in the New World. Founded by Christopher Columbus's brother Bartolome Colombus in 1496, it is the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the Americas and was the first seat of the Spanish colonial empire in the New World. For this reason, the city of Santo Domingo has a really rich historic and cultural heritage that makes any visit extremely worthwhile. Nowadays, it remains one of the most populous cities in the Central America-Caribbean area, and the main economic and commercial center of this region. The city is divided into two parts by the Ozama River. The western side is very developed economically, while the eastern part, known as Santo Domingo Este, has historically lagged behind.
The most important tourist destination of the city is the Zona Colonial or Colonial Zone, on the western bank of the river and facing the Caribbean Sea. To the west of the Zona Colonial lies Gazcue, one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, filled with old Victorian houses and tree-lined streets. The city's waterfront George Washington Avenue, knows as El Malecon, borders the Caribbean Sea and attracts many tourists because of its hotels, casinos, palm-lined boulevards and monuments. Surrounding the Gazcue area you will find the Palacio Nacional (seat of the Dominican government), the National Theater, the Museums in the Plaza de la Cultura, and the Palace of Fine Arts.
In the central part of western Santo Domingo lies the economic and commercial heart of the city, in an area known as the Poligono Central and delimited by the 27 de Febrero, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill and Maximo Gomez avenues. This high-income area remains rather unexplored by tourists, despite offering most of the best dining and shopping available in the city. Many of the city's most affluent neighborhoods surround the city's two main parks, the Parque Mirador Sur in the South and the Jardin Botanico in the North.
In the less developed Oriental Santo Domingo you will find other major monuments and tourist spots, such as Columbus's Lighthouse, where the explorer's remains are buried, the open caves of the Parque Nacional Los Tres Ojos, and the National Aquarium. This all makes of Santo Domingo a cosmopolitan, vibrant and bustling city with very distinct neighborhoods and ambiances, all worth a visit, and providing the most diverse cultural experiences.
Santo Domingo was, until recently, a huge city (pop. nearly 4 million people) that was split into 5 independent municipalities: Distrito Nacional, Santo Domingo Este, Santo Domingo Oeste, Santo Domingo Norte and Boca Chica. Fortunately, nearly all tourist attractions and shopping, dining and entertainment venues are located relatively close to each other in the Distrito Nacional, making it easy for you to get around and see the sights.
A lot to see in Santo Domingo such as :
Alcázar de Colón
Basilica Cathedral of Santa María la Menor
Columbus Lighthouse

VISITE DE LA ZONE COLONIALE DE SAINT-DOMINGUE - RÉPUBLIQUE DOMINICAINE
Visite de la zone coloniale de Saint-Domingue - République Dominicaine
Excursion d'une demi-journée à Santo Domingo pour y visiter la zone coloniale.
Nous avons d'abord visité le parc national Los Tres Ojos qui comportent de jolies grottes. Pour plus de détails, je vous invite à visionner la vidéo suivante:
En route, on y découvre entre autres le Faro a Colón, un monument qui a été érigé en l'honneur de Christophe Colomb.
En ville, les autobus et taxis sont plutôt en mauvais état. On comprend pourquoi on conseille fortement de ne pas utiliser ces moyens de transport et encore moins la location de voiture.
Les routes de Santo Domingo causent des milliers de décès par année. En moins de cinq minutes, nous avons d'ailleurs vu deux personnes étendues sur la chaussée. Elles venaient d'être frappées mortellement en tentant de traverser l'autoroute à pied.
Saviez-vous qu'il y avait un quartier chinois à Santo Domingo? Et oui!
Le palais national est un magnifique bâtiment de style néoclassique qui abritent les bureaux du gouvernement.
Nous en avons profité pour prendre quelques photos avec le gardien du palais.
Nous avons également visité l'édifice CODIA qui possède un joli patio intérieur.
La cathédrale Notre-Dame de l'Incarnation (Catedral Santa Maria la Menor) a été érigée au 16e siècle. C'est la plus ancienne des Amériques. De magnifiques statues et sculptures ornent la devanture de la cathédrale. L'intérieur est tout autant époustouflant.
Après la visite de la cathédrale, nous nous sommes retrouvés dans le parc Colón qui était très animé.
Sur la place publique, plusieurs jeunes dansaient au rythme d'une musique latine.
Nous avons traversé la Plaza Maria de Toledo qui a été construite en l'honneur de cette femme qui appartenait à une famille de noblesse espagnole. Elle a été une figure féminine importante de l'oligarchie espagnole du 16e siècle. Une plaque commémorative en remémore les faits.
Le panthéon de la Patrie (panteon de la Patria) est un mausolée où reposent d'importants personnages de la République Dominicaine. Lorsque nous avons pénétré dans l'édifice, c'était la relève de la garde.
Quelques gargouilles ornent la devanture de l'édifice.
Nous avons poursuivi notre balade sur la grande Place Espana située en bordure de la rivière Ozama.
L'Alcazar de Colón a été le premier palais fortifié du Nouveau Monde. Pour le protéger, il a été déclaré Monument National en 1870. Aujourd'hui, il abrite un musée qui témoigne du style de vie des 16e et 17e siècles.
Nous avons également fait un arrêt dans une boutique où il était possible d'acheter différents produits de la République Dominicaine.
