The Alcázar de Colón is located in Santo Domingo's Ciudad Colonial, Dominican Republic, and forms part of the Ciudad Colonial UNESCO's World Heritage Site. It is the only known residence of a member of the Christopher Columbus's family, his first-born son Diego Columbus. The palace is an impressive construction of coralline blocks that once housed some fifty rooms and a number of gardens and courtyards. During the early Spanish colonial period, the mansion occupied a very important place in history. It was from here that many expeditions of conquest and exploration were planned. In 1586, the palace was sacked by Sir Francis Drake and his forces.
