Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
|
The city of Santo Domingo can be seen as far as the eye can see when one is standing on the steps of the Columbus Monument. |
| The government builds apartment houses for professionals like teachers, doctors, and dentists. They pay reasonable rent. The non-professional people have no such luck and make do as best they can. | |
|
|
| There are large numbers of slums. The government has built walls (above) and planted trees (above right) to camouflage them and help beautify the city. | |
| A link has been provided to the pictures of The National Aquarium, a special cave, and the monument constructed to house the tomb and ashes of Christopher Columbus. | |
