Santo Domingo de Guzman, capital of the Dominican Republic, was the first city founded in America, on August 4, 1496. Its complete name was La Nueva Isabela, Santo Domingo of the Port of the Island of Hispaniola, and served as base for Spanish expeditions to the newly discovered lands. Its historical center, declared by UNESCO as World Heritage Site in 1990, has more than 300 museums, houses and historical monuments.
