A very unique, imposing, and fascinating monument. The architecture is incredible—it’s built in a massive brutalist style that feels totally different from everything else in the city. I highly recommend walking the entire grounds because the experience from the back is just as cool as the view from the front entrance. Seeing how the different concrete levels stack up from every angle is the best part. As a bonus, there is free parking right on-site, which makes the visit very easy. Definitely a must-see for anyone who likes interesting buildings and history!

Faro a Colon lighthouse dominican monument built in honor of Christopher Columbus the discover of the new world. Inside you will find exhibits of all or most Caribbean. Central America, North America and South America, the building outside walls has the list of all countries names engraved. Inside in each room you find info about each country and their culture as well some pieces of artifacts donated and bought to the museum.The entrance is 200DOP you can pay cash.Free parking .Loved the Inside architecture the way the building splits and you can see the sky in a straight line. Very cool and nice temperature inside the building. Just is lacking a bit of info for some of the countries in the e exhibits, definitely interesting architecture for those who love it

Excellent history of the America's. Lots of artifacts for each new found land. One side dedicated to the major countries of the world eg China, Germany, Japan and more. Pictures of each maps of some and little bit of history for each country.

This memorial is a must see in Santo Domingo, it’s a massive monument to the person who “discovered the Americas.” There are displays from most if not all the countries in the western hemisphere. The cost is/was $4US per person. Some of his remains are located inside (this is a point of contention as they’ve never allowed the bones to be DNA tested). The lights can be seen from space and Puerto Rico when illuminated.

I thought the museam was alright. One thing I did find interesting was that there are several rooms that had contributions from multiple countries from around the world. From an aerial view the building is in the shape of a cross.
