The other part of the island is Haiti
The city was first founded on the east side of the River Ozama by Bartholomew Columbus, brother of Christopher, with the name of La Nueva Isabela (The New Isabela); La Isabela was a town founded on the northern coast of the island by Christopher Columbus. The name was soon changed to Santo Domingo.
The view shows the ‘mole’ or breakwater. The St. Nicholas of Bari Hospital was the first hospital in the Americas but now is partially destroyed.
