A Walking Tour of Santo Domingo's Colonial District Santo Domingo was fortified in the mid-16th century by walls running along the Ozama River to the Malecón, then up present-day Calle Palo Hincado to a point just beyond Calle Restauracion, and then west back to the Ozama River, all of which became the boundary of the original Colonial District. Very near the river in the far southeastern corner of the Colonial District is the Fortazela Santo Domingo (Fortress of Santo Domingo), site of the Toree del Homenaje (Tower of Homage) and the Fortazela Ozama (Ozama Fortress), open Tuesday-Sunday 8 a.m.-7 p.m., admission about RD$6). These dual forts and the somber tower sit on a bluff overlooking the conjunction of the Ozama River and the Caribbean Sea and were built by Governor Nicolás de Ovando in 1503, making this the oldest military building complex in the Americas. www.escapeartist.com /efam2/dominican_republic_walking_tour.html

Water from the Almendares River is not used as it is not considered to have the required quality for irrigation.
