Columbus Lighthouse

Columbus Lighthouse

Built in the shape of a cross, the Columbus Lighthouse stands on the eastern end of Santo Domingo. The remains of Christopher Columbus are located at this site, which also serves as a mausoleum and museum. The lighthouse was designed by Scottish architect Joseph Gleave and built during the administration of President Joaquin Balaguer to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus’ arrival on the island. Several halls exhibit indigenous artifacts from all over the Americas.
