2012 World Monuments Watch Fifty kilometers from the tourist region of Punta Cana, the town of Higüey is home to the Parish Church of San Dionisio, one of the oldest churches in the Americas and an important landmark in the Dominican Republic. Consecrated in 1572 on the site of an earlier structure from 1512, the church is dedicated to the Virgin of Altagracia. The one-story church and two-story bell tower are constructed of limestone and brick in a baroque, Spanish colonial style that has been altered over the years with Victorian details. The cult of the Virgin is closely tied to Dominican identity; the Virgin of Altagracia is considered the protective mother of the Dominican people. Because of this association and the church’s proximity to tourist resorts, it receives more than 450,000 visitors a year. Yet, deferred maintenance has resulted in the deterioration of San Dionisio. The historic church was included on the 2012 World Monuments Watch in order to help raise awareness for its conservation and long-term stewardship. The building is an invaluable asset to the cultural life of the community and an emblem of the Dominican Republic’s history.

Es un Monumento Histórico, ubicado al igual que la Basilica en el centro de la ciudad (Parque Central), es el primer templo a la Virgen María en America, la cual data de 1572. Este templo ha resistido terremotos y tormentas. Su altar es una obra de arte estilo Barroco. En su frente se podran deleitar tambien viendo las palomas, y en el parque aún existen los tradicionales Limpia-botas.
