el obelisco

Its a Symbol The our Malecon. Its located near the Eugenio Maria De Hosto Park. Its painting for different people and different theme . In December is decorated like a Christma Tree if you go to malecon enjoy this Art of Dominican Republic.

If you are walking the malecón it is impressive for a quick look. Lit up quite well at night too. Nothing much else around there, but you get some good sea and skyline views and could be on your way to the Palacio Nacional

This is the center piece of the water front avenue that Santo Domingo is famous for. They use this monument to exhibit art depicting national themes; such as the Mirabal Sisters (The Time of the Butterflies). It is an all night party at this strip. Great Fun!

Obelisco is a nice place to be. At night you may enjoy excellent street food. A new park was built a few years ago and it has good security and many attractions. Good for family and couples.

Very interesting story and history to go along with the statues. Very pretty views of the Caribbean Ocean behind the statue and all the way along the street near the water. Lots of old buildings and pretty architecture along the way.

This is on the main and horribly busy road along the sea front from the airport. THis looked a bit sad-really in need of a paint job. Not a particularly nice walk as the traffic is horrendous with many large trucks with huge loads that are dreadfully noisy. Additionally there is no beach and the sea is full of rubbish!! I would not take the time to make a special visit, it just happened to be close to our hotel so we saw it as we walked by. Beware as this area as I was the subject of an attempted mugging by a man who mounted the pavement and grabbed my neck in an attempt to steal my necklace (a simple gold chain-not at all ostentatious). My only regret is it happened so quickly I didn't get the chance to push him off his bike!! So, only go if it is en route somewhere.

Beautiful obelisc in the Santo Domingo. If you're staying along this coast, make sure you walk along the main road and take some pictures of the monument. It's a really beautiful art piece.

A beautiful piece of art and history that sits in the middle of one of Santo Domingo's busiest area: El Malecon. It is the centerpiece of a roundabout and is near several large Santo Domingo hotels (Magna 365, Hilton). It is also near an outdoor entertainment area on the Malecon. It is near outdoor food and entertainment on the Malecon. The images are from the book: In the Time of the Butterflies.

The peaceful scene and the many amenities available among the locals. You can take a pic of things to do from Karaoke to a nice relax drink.

I was walking down the beach and just happened to see it in the distance. It is worth taking a look at the art work is amazing!

This obelisk is a memorial to the Hermanas Mirabal, three sisters who opposed the dictator Rafael Trujillo and were murdered. The painting "Alegoría a la libertad” was done by the Dominican artist, Dustin Muñoz. It's located along the Malecón.

I like how artist have painted aspects of the dominican culture onto the obelisk.

Simple, very detailed and beautifully painted monument in the middle of the Malecon. Reminds me of the Washington Monument in D.C. It sits in the center of a major traffic circle along the Malecon sea wall in Santo Domingo.

el obelisco es un emblema dominicano, en la actualidad ha sido restaurado y pintado por grandes pintores dominicanos, como lo es Pelletier por citar uno de ellos, en navidad se monta el arbolito gigante que representa la navidad de todos los dominicanos, es digno de admirar.

Hay dos /2) obeliscos (el macho y la hembra) construidos durante la dictadura del asesino de trujillo. El macho es muy bello, en el malecón los verás son problema,.
