Parque Colon ca. 1936
Historical photographs and postcards from Santo Domingo are fascinating to study. We see the older, colonial city and its Spanish architecture, but also, over the 19th and 20th centuries, the expansion, modernization, and flourishing mixture of styles in the city. It's also fascinating to see how the 'Ciudad Trujillo' period transformed Santo Domingo into more of a 'modern' city. The source for these two pictures is a Dominican forum, dr1.com, which contains a plethora of pictures.
