monumento a los heroes de la restauracion

Well kept gardens ideal for photo shoots. View from the top of the monument gives you a 360 tour on Santiago. You could use the viewers installed on top to identify landmarks in the city. A historic account of the Restauracion using museum displays. Elevators were out of service so you have to climb up the stairs to the top (4-5 stories). this is exhausting for people with disabilities and old age.

The Monumento a los Heroes de la Restauración is a monument that celebrates important people throughout the history of the Dominican Republic. It is always noticeable on the Santiago landscape. Events are held at the base of it. You can get carriage rides and visit the monument's museum with very interesting information about Santiago and the Dominican Republic. It is an icon of Dominican Culture

On a hill at the east end of downtown area is Santiago most visible and recognizable sight, the Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration of the Dominican Republic. It was built during the dictatorship of Rafael L Trujillo in 1944 as Trujillo's Monument to Peace. This significantly place offers spectacular views of Santiago city and surroundings moutains, and it is an attractive place at night where people go to relax and have fun. There are many restaurants in this area as well as discotecs. By the kindness of its people, Santiago has been named The City Heart...

You can chill, have a beer, go up to the top during the day. Just be careful with someone of the people that hang around and be aware of burglars :) you get to see a nice view of the city

I love it since the first time and this last time wasn't an exception, photos here are great and be ready to walk up. Try also getting a view from the sidwalk and you'll see how awesome it looks.

Beautiful.............. I enjoyed the monument. There are a few restaurants within walking distance. At night the monument shines red white and blue the colors of the Dominican flag.

This is a great place to be able to view the whole city from the top of the monument. It is great for couples to enjoy the view and also is able to cater to families. The carriage rides are awesome and extremely romantic. I love walking around and people watching, each day brings with it a new experience. Come and enjoy Santiago night life.......so much fun!!!!

nice diversion from the bustle of the city.. lots of vendors around.. located on a hill at the center of the city. impressive statues and gardens..

This place offers a spectacular view of the city and the nearby mountains. There is rather an inexpensive fee to enter the tower an museum. It has several representations of the dominican history and offers a good place to know about the founding fathers of the Dominican Republic. It is a rather quick visit if you are in a hurry.

It is enough. It is so hot that you feel like melting down as butter.The monument identification is limited and there is not kind is summary preparation to understand what you are observing.I won't repeat the visit.

It is a place where you can go to reflect, spend a nice evening with family or with your partner, you have the convenience of a variety of parking and a great view if you want to eat more formal not have to go very far because the cross street will remain two restaurants. You can enter Monument and enjoy the view from the lookout that remains in the upper part. It is one of the most recognizable monuments in the entire country. Besides all also has a nightlife where people come and park their cars with music and everything, that is, you can also enjoy a night out with friends.The interior of the monument is a museum about the heroes of the Restoration, which became public after refurbishment. The Santiago congregate at the foot of the tower, at the top of the hill, to see the city and have a good time with your family and friends. Both day and night you can see the beautiful view of the city.The Monument of Santiago (formerly Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration) is the chosen monument in the city of Santiago de los Caballeros. Originally built under the dictatorship of Trujillo in his honor, with the name of Peace Monument Trujillo. It was designed by architect Henry Gazón Bona. He started and being INITIATED the same year to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Dominican independence. It was inaugurated on September 30, 1953.

It's a very beautiful building. I recommend going twice: once in the daytime when you can enter and take in the view from inside the building, and then at night when it is lit. At night it's a very romantic spot, and I would recommend taking some special in a carriage ride around the monument.

Is a big place and you can see almost the hole city from the top of the monument. there are a lot up restaurant around the monument and places to share.

A cool looking monument that you can walk through. You will be charged if you are not a local (around $5-10) . It's not an all day kind of thing, but don't be afraid to flag down a local with a cooler to purchase a cold presidente!

Beautiful place to visit in Santiago. I was here in July 2012, and it was an amazing place. Monumento a los Heros is worth a visit if you're staying in Santiago.
