I already had two or three postcards from Dominican Republic, brought by family and friends, all showing paradise beaches and finally I have two postcards of the only UNESCO site of the country, thanks to Marco!

| Museo de las Casas Reales |
The Museo de las Casas Reales (English: Museum of the Royal Houses) is one of the important cultural monuments built during the colonial era in Hispaniola, now the Dominican Republic. It is located in the Colonial district of Santo Domingo.
The building dates back to the sixteenth century, and was built to house the administrative offices of the Spanish colonies in the Americas.
The palace was built by orders of the Spanish Crown, represented by King Ferdinand II of Aragon, on October 5 of 1511 to house the main government offices of the colony in two interconnected buildings.
The original architectural structure has undergone a number of changes through the country's history. - in: wikipedia

| National Pantheon |
The National Pantheon was built from 1714-1746 by the Spaniard Geronimo Quezada y Garçon and was originally a Jesuit church. The structure was constructed in the neoclassic-renaissance style. Today the structure stands as a national symbol of the Dominican Republic and serves as the final resting place of the Republic's most honored citizens. - in: wikipedia
