Fresh, Windy, Historic and. Surrounded by restaurants, hotels, malls and other places of interest. Right in the center of the city and about 10-15 minutes away from the international airport. easy to get to with plenty public parking. Buy the ticket at the main entrance to go up yo the 5th floor where you can enjoy a wonderful 360 degrees view of the city and mountains. Your ticket will help to maintain the cleaning and other areas like the green area etc. Many guys (seller of beer) will approach you to sell you a refreshing beer, go ahead and enjoy it. It’s a secure place and don’t panic if you see law enforcement driving around even in motorcycles or walking, it helps to keep the city even safer. Did I mention the rides on the horse in carriage? Don’t miss it, I love it at night :) it’s romantic and tradition of the city itself. The city is becoming more attractive because in the pass year or two to the date, many changes in the architecture have occurred. New high rises and better public ground transportation are being built, the value has grown and it’s a perfect time to invest for those interested.

The **Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration** (Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración) is a prominent landmark located in **Ciudad de Santiago de los Caballeros**, the second-largest city in the Dominican Republic. This monument honors the heroes of the **Restoration War** (1863–1865), a conflict in which the Dominican Republic fought to regain its independence from the annexation by Spain. Standing tall at 67 meters, the monument is not only a tribute to the bravery and sacrifices of those who fought during this pivotal period in Dominican history, but also a symbol of national pride. The monument’s architectural design is impressive, featuring a large obelisk surrounded by sculptures and inscriptions that commemorate the country's struggle for sovereignty. Visitors can also enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding area from the top of the monument, which adds to its appeal as both a historical site and a scenic viewpoint. The **Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration** is a must-visit for anyone interested in learning about the Dominican Republic’s rich history and culture.

DR had a very turbulent history - it was switched between the Spanish and Haitian rule, and had to fight for its independence several times. This imposing monument stands proudly in the second biggest DR city. It is dedicated to victims of the Restauration war against Spain which was fought 1863-65 after Spain regained DR shortly after its first independence from Haiti. Entering the ground floor is free, while there's a couple of dollars fee to climb up. The elevator did not work, but it is a very mild climb via spiral staircase through several levels and on each is a museum, diorama and some info on that war. Once on top there're great views of entire city.
