Sightseeing
The Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración is a monument in the city of Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic. It’s the highest building in Santiago, and a major tourist attraction for the area. Locals go to walk around, exercise (in the mornings or late afternoon), at night there are restaurants/bars. If you’re traveling with your family, just at the bottom of the monument, you can take a ride around the city/monument on horses. Children really enjoy the experience riding on the horse carriages sightseeing. Best time for that is at night.

Absolutely beautiful view of Santiago. The restaurant is at the top of a mountain, very elegant spot for lunch or dinner. Perfect place to go on a date. They even have a love lock wall - just like the one in Paris. Beautiful experience. Just outside the restaurant a collection of cars from 1950’s/1960’s that belonged to the family of dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo - the leader and former president of the Dominican Republic.
