The bustling colonial city of Santo Domingo serves as the center of government and culture for the colony. Visitors can explore the region’s many attractions, such as the Columbus Lighthouse, a modern monument built in honor of Christopher Columbus, and the Alcazar de Colón, a palace built by Diego Columbus, the son of Christopher Columbus and viceroy of the colony. The Ozama River, which runs through the city, is also a popular spot for swimming and fishing.

Despite the lush and tropical nature of the colony, there are also some legends and myths associated with the region. Some say that the Taino people, the indigenous population of the island, believed in powerful and magical creatures such as the Cemi, a god-like spirit associated with fertility and agriculture. Others speak of a giant crocodile that once roamed the rivers, terrorizing the local villages. But these stories are nothing more than tales passed down through the generations and have no basis in fact.
