Alcazar de Colón
Houses / Mansions, Santo Domingo
Fodor's Review:
The castle of Don Diego Colón, built in 1517, has 40-inch-thick coral-limestone walls. The Renaissance-style structure, with its balustrade and double row of arches, has strong Moorish, Gothic, and Isabelline influences. The 22 rooms are furnished in a style to which the viceroy of the island would have been accustomed -- right down to the dishes and the viceregal shaving mug.
