Santo Domingo Province

Santo Domingo Province is a territorial division in the eastern Dominican Republic that spans multiple municipalities and administrative districts. The province functions as a major administrative and economic zone for the nation.

The province was created in 2001 when administrative divisions were reorganized and Santo Domingo Este became its capital city. This separation established the territorial boundaries that exist today.

The province serves as the economic heart of the Dominican Republic, with businesses, banks, and trade centers woven throughout daily life. Visitors notice the mix of modern office towers and traditional marketplaces where people work and shop.

Visitors will find developed roads and public services connecting the various municipalities and districts. The best time to explore is during drier months when travel conditions are easier.

The province operates three different telephone area codes to serve its communication network. This system helps visitors understand the infrastructure that connects the various communities.
