This cobblestone street, the first ever built in the New World, is known for its numerous beautiful structures from centuries past.
We heard a lot of this street before we came to St. Domingo the first time. Nice to walk along this historical street up to the very center of mediaval town.

Altos de Chavon, is an architectural wonder, a 16th century replica of a Mediterranean village perched high above the Chavón River. The village was designed by Dominican architect Jose Antonio Caro, and created by Italian master designer and cinematographer Roberto Coppa. Dominican artisans handcrafted the stone pathways, decorative ironwork, furniture and enchanting buildings, reviving almost forgotten crafts of metal work and stone carving. Under Coppa's direction, each stone was hand cut, each wooden door frame was handcrafted and each wrought-iron detail hand-forged. Construction of the village began in 1976 and the village was inaugurated in 1982 with the concert of Frank Sinatra at the amphitheater. Altos de Chavon was built as a center of culture for the Dominican people.
We visited n 2014 as part of an excursion and I’m so glad we went. The buildings and grounds are amazing to see. The amphitheater looks like something out of an old Roman movie. The fountain is absolutely beautiful. While walking through the grounds all we could smell was the hibiscus trees .. the Chavon river runs along it and we took a riverboat along the River where they filmed Rambo. Highly recommend a visit to this beautiful village
