Stop 2

The Columbus Lighthouse is a great monument in homage to the arrival of Christopher Columbus to the New World. This huge concrete construction does not look like a typical lighthouse, but instead looks like a mausoleum or a pyramid in the shape of a cross. Take a tour of the imposing façade, explore the internal museum, or climb to the top of the monument for an unforgettable view of Santo Domingo.

National Pantheon is a mausoleum where the remains of prominent figures in the history of the Dominican Republic are preserved. The Pantheon is located in the capital of the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo.
