 The Cathedral of Santa Maria la Menor in Santo Domingo is the oldest cathedral in America. Its construction began in 1512. Inside the cathedral, you will find as many as 12 chapels. Some of the original decorative elements of the church, such as the frescoes and the carved mahogany woodwork, have survived to this day - still in perfect condition after 500 years in the tropics. The date on the mahogany cross is 1514; this is the first documented use of this wood. Its flower is the national tree of the Dominican Republic.
