Built in front of the mouth of the Ozama River, the Santo Domingo fortress, or Ozama fortress, is the first military construction of the colony, and one of the jewels of the world heritage of the Colonial Zone. The simple and massive construction was erected by the Spanish between 1502 and 1507, giving it a medieval appearance, under the orders of the then governor Nicolás de Ovando. However, over subsequent centuries the place has been expanded and modified to become the interesting construction that you can see today. The main objective of their uprising was to defend the city from the attacks of English, Portuguese, French conquerors, and pirates who tried to take it or plunder it. As you approach the fortress, it gives the impression of an authentic medieval castle, made up of a highly functional architectural ensemble. Thus, the historical monument is made up of various parts that stand out from each other.

It is one of the historical Cultural Monuments of the Colonial City of Santo Domingo.
