Las Damas Street was the first street in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic, and in the Americas.

This street features attractions such as Fortaleza Ozama, La Real Audiencia, the house of Don Rodrigo de Bastidas (now the “Trampolín” children’s museum), colonial houses (some with colonial coats of arms), and, at the end, Plaza España.
