ASTION OF THE COUNT

Ten minutes from the cathedral is the Baluarte del Conde, a military bastion that still preserves part of the old wall and is located in the Independence Park. It is also made up of the Puerta de la Misericordia, the Fuerte de la Concepción and the Altar de la Patria. In addition, this place holds one of the most important episodes in the history of the Dominican Republic, since it was here where the fight for the country's independence took place.
