Santiago de los Caballeros
Dominican Republic
Santiago de los Caballeros, the Dominican Republic's second-largest city, has a walkable centre with a real café and restaurant scene and a concentration of historic churches. Its most prominent landmark is the Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration, commemorating the war of 1863–1865 during which the city served as the country's capital. The Gran Teatro del Cibao, the Centro León cultural centre, and the Fortaleza San Luis add further depth, and the surrounding Cibao region puts mountains within easy reach.
