San Cristóbal Province, Province in southern Dominican Republic.
San Cristóbal Province stretches from the Caribbean coast inland to the Cordillera Central mountains in southern Dominican Republic. The landscape is shaped by three main rivers—Haina, Nizao, and Nigua—that flow through diverse terrain from sea level to mountain elevations.
The province was created in 1932 under the name Trujillo, honoring the dictator in power at that time. It was renamed San Cristóbal in 1961 following the dictator's assassination.
The provincial capital, San Cristóbal city, holds national importance as the location where the first Dominican Republic constitution was signed in 1844.
The province connects easily to Santo Domingo through well-developed highway networks that facilitate movement across the region. Travel between cities and towns is straightforward thanks to these modern road systems.
Within the province lies Cuevas del Pomier, a cave system featuring numerous pre-Columbian drawings and engravings on its walls. These artworks reveal the creative skills of the island's earliest inhabitants long before European arrival.
