Little reminds of this Spanish fort, Fuerte San Gil. The patron saint of the fort, Giles the Hermit, was a somewhat odd choice, as he generally protected people with disabilities and fearful children. Like many of the oldest European structures on Hispaniola, this fort was built between 1503 and 1510 to defend Ciudad Colonial. In 1887, erosion and stormy weather caused the original fort to fall into the sea. The current fort is a historical replica maintained by Alcaldía Distrito Nacional [National District Mayoral Office].

If you love beaches full of plastic and trash, Fuerte San Gil is your dream destination! This spot perfectly captures the trash culture of the city. Every wave brings a fresh layer of garbage, making it a haven for waste enthusiasts! Hope that there's gonna be an effort to stop and clean up all that mess soon. Until then, enjoy this unique garbage paradise! *This review can apply to all the beaches of Santo Domingo, and most streets...

Although I loved the place itself the Dominican government has not done a good job of cleaning it up is full of soda cans water bottles in general trash. I recommend you visit for its historic value but don't be shocked if you find all sorts of garbage and litter

Se eleva en la primera línea de los farallones costeros, constituye la primera señal que queda y nos indica por dónde transcurria la fortificación de la ciudad en la época colonial. Por la calle Palo Hincado, y en linea casi perpendicular al Caribe, desde este fuerte se llega a la Puerta de la Misericordia, Puerta del Conde y Fuerte de la Concepción. Todo ello conformaba el muro Oeste de las defensas de la ciudad. Pero este reducto da lástima recorrerlo por dentro debido al estado de abandono. Y cuidado si se decide circundarlo por fuera, a pesar de que ofrece rincones y vistas de la costa de la Capital dignas de disfrutar, no es zona segura para el turista. El hecho de encontrarse en la primera línea costera, hace que sea imposible aparcar para visitarlo. Recomiendo la visita en dos posibles itinerarios: 1-si se camina por la calle turística y peatonal de El Conde, al llegar a la puerta del mismo nombre, damos un muy agradable paseo recorriendo la línea amurallada desde el fuerte Concepción. 2-si vamos disfrutando por la línea costera del Malecón, aquí empieza el recorrido de la parte histórica de la ciudad, y según descendemos suavemente pegados al Caribe, dejamos a la derecha la estatua monumental de Montesinos, a la izquierda sigue la línea de muralla y llegamos a la...
