Of course when built by Fray Nicolas de Ovando in 1506 it looked much better and was dedicated to function as the first public hospital in America. On our photograph you can see the basic structure and roof still in one piece; if you look for it in today's colonial city of Santo Domingo you will find the roof missing. It came down during the construction of the new church Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia next door in the 1930's. Photo 25k

Looking across the improvised boat docks on the Ozama River towards the colonial city of Santo Domingo. The docks have gone to make room for today's quite busy cruise ship terminal.

Photo 21k Capturing the moment when Dominican President Jacinto Bienvenido Peynado signs a document, authorizing to open up the urn that presumably contains the remains of Cristopher Columbus; this artefact is displayed today at the Columbus Light House in Santo Domingo and whether or not it contains the remains of the man who discovered America is still a heavily disputed topic among scientists.
