Casa del Cordón
Museums / Galleries, Houses / Mansions, Santo Domingo
Fodor's Review:
This structure, built in 1503, is the western hemisphere's oldest surviving stone house. Columbus's son, Diego Colón, viceroy of the colony, and his wife lived here until the Alcazar was finished. It was in this house, too, that Sir Francis Drake was paid a ransom to prevent him from totally destroying the city.
