Soon after Columbus set foot on Hispaniola, the first cathedral was built, and it can still be visited today: a curious mix of styles combined with its historical significance give it a unique feel.
Anyone will recognize the different styles in the Catedral Primada de las Américas, from older gothic structures to modern stained glass windows. The cathedral is so well kept, that at first, you might not even realize it is almost 500 years old. It is only when you look more closely, that proof of its age presents itself. This might be in the tombs of historical figures (family members of Columbus are still entombed here), national figures of the Dominican Republic, bishops lining the side walls of the cathedral, chapels with old memorial stones in the marble floor... As we admired the interior of the cathedral, an afternoon thunderstorm sailed over the cathedral, giving the interior a fantastic light.
