This is particularly relevant when it comes to its historical manors, the rich collective heritage that once saw our forebearers going about their daily lives. INICIA, through Visanto Properties, has put together a team of historians, archeologists and architects committed to the restoration of its residential portfolio in the Colonial Zone. These projects, compiled in Manor Houses of the Oldest City in America by architect Juan Batlle and photographer Víctor Siladi, are an exemplary showcase of the type of interventions worthy of a historical landmark that fuels our national pride.

In the early 20th century, the Lebrón Morales family of merchants imported all manner of construction supplies and finishes. Given this natural advantage, they fulfilled a personal wish of recreating the palaces of Andalusia’s La Alhambra in Santo Domingo. Since the mid-1980s, after a restoration directed by architects Benjamín Paiewonsky and César Ivan Ferris, the residence has been home to the city’s Porcelain Museum.
