COUNTRY OVERVIEW The Dominican Republic occupies the eastern two thirds of the island of Hispaniola, the second largest island in the Caribbean. Formerly a colony of Spain, it shares the island with Creole-French speaking Haiti, located at the western end of the island. Hispaniola is part of the Greater Antilles island group in the Caribbean and lies between Cuba to the northwest and Puerto Rico to the east. The Dominican Republic offers some of the most beautiful and diverse topography in the Caribbean. To give you and idea of its size, The Dominican Republic is larger than the Bahamas, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands combined. The country's geography doesn't lend itself to easy classification. It is best to think of the Dominican Republic as a combination of highlands, lowlands, and highland valleys. Geographers have divided the country into twenty distinct regions. Two of the more interesting features include over 1,000 miles of spectacular, sun-drenched Caribbean beaches, plus the highest peak in the Caribbean region; Pico Duarte which rises to over 10,700 ft.

It was the earliest Spanish colony in the Western Hemisphere to be established. Haitians occupied the entire island from 1822 until 1844 when the Dominican Republic attained independence. Western traditions have been a strong presence in the Dominican Republic eversince the Dominican Republic was first permanently colonized by the Europeans in the western hemisphere. Some of the old colonial buildings are still standing until today and a fine example is in Santa Domingo. Art, music and literature are developed in part of western patterns but equally strong is the African cultural strain. The African heritage is most noticable in the folk culture especially the music. Hence, these two traditions blend in the popular national song and dance.

    Extractions: DOMINICAN REPUBLIC : ARTS AND CULTURE Architecture : a number of Dominican towns were founded by the Spanish colonists. Their centre is built according to the principal of traditional urbinisation in a checkerboard plan, right angled intersections and straight roads. The Spanish and Moorish influence is felt in the colonial towns. All the same, the Dominican towns have grown without much attention to esthetics nor practicality. Whether rich or poor, the dominican dwelling is principally individual and consequently the Dominican city is flat and very spread out. The classic wooden creol home is found outside the urban zones. Colourfully painted, they brighten up the Dominican countryside. Nevertheless one notices now a hardening of the country dwellings with houses made from concrete and cement, less authentic but more reassuring. The origins of merengue : music is an integral part of daily life and the Merengue is omnipresent in the country.
