In its centre stands the statue of Nicolás de Ovando, architect of the city and third governor after Columbus and Bobadilla. The work is by the Spanish sculptor Juan de Vaquero. The founder of Santo Domingo holds in his hands the compass he used for his work, as well as the governor's baton. From this place you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view, especially of the Colón lighthouse. At night, in the discreet charm of its lighting, the square with the Alcazar Colon and all the bars and restaurants takes on a magical dimension.

Large and beautiful square of the colonial centre of Santo domingo lined with some rather expensive restaurants. The alcazar de Colon is next to the place.
