La Vega, Commercial center in central Dominican Republic
La Vega sits near Camú River, functioning as a center for manufacturing, trade, and agricultural production in the fertile La Vega Real region.
The settlement began in 1495 at the base of Concepción fortress, later moving to its current location after an earthquake destroyed the original site in 1564.
The city maintains deep connections to agricultural traditions through festivals, while hosting the Dominican Republic Book Fair each September.
Multiple transportation methods connect the city, including an airfield, railway to Sánchez port, and paved highways linking Santo Domingo to Monte Cristi.
La Vega produced the first coins minted in the New World and developed into one of the largest European cities in the hemisphere by 1510.
