Synopsis
Ciudad Colonial, Santo Domingo features over 150 photographs of the colonial city of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. It is a unique photographic guide to the first settlement in the New World . Eight photographers capture the essence of this culturally rich and historic city, declared a World Heritage Site by the Unesco in 1990. More than a guide for tourists , the handsomely designed book documents the architectural wonders of the colonial city, its historic monuments, its hidden gardens and treasures, its people and its very unique flavor. The clear and informative captions in both English and Spanish make this book interesting and accessible for anyone . The Dominican Republic mostly known for its beaches and palm trees offers much more to the curious visitor. The colonial city, commonly known as la zona colonial is a town nestled within the capital city of Santo Domingo and as the editors point out, there is much to discover if one cares to wander off the beaten track . The photographers, Amadeo Anselin, Nemanja Brankovic, Ricardo Briones, Jaime Guerra, Amanda Livoti , Ricardo Piantini , Pancho Rodríguez and Manolo Vidal offer a diverse selection and a unique vision of the heart of one of the oldest and less explored cities in America. An extra bonus : the proceeds benefit a local Dominican non profit organization, Fundacion Abriendo Camino, that works to improve the lives of poverty stricken children and adolescents in Santo Domingo.
