Parque Independencia – also known as Parque Central – is the centerpiece of the city of Puerto Plata, framed by royal palms and embraced by pastel-colored architecture from the Victorian era. The white Catedral del Apóstol San Felipe overlooks the plaza, where Puerto Plateños relax day and night with friends and family. You’ll find a café, an ice cream shop and a restaurant around the square, while the city’s main museums are just a few blocks away.
