Specialty Museum · Hidden Gem · Museum
Marvel at classic colonial architecture from the 1500s at Museo De Las Casas Reales, which once housed the administrative offices of the Spanish colonies, but now stands as a museum documenting the history of Santo Domingo. Request a personal guide and explore the labyrinth of rooms decorated with colonial furniture. The museum exhibits early legislation, the office of the chief judge, historical ceramics, military weapons, and all types of Taino artifacts. Take a quiet break in the interior courtyard, which features an elegant garden. Work out when and for how long to visit Museo De Las Casas Reales and other Santo Domingo attractions using our handy Santo Domingo day trip website.
