La Isabela Puerto Plata be declared World Heritage » La Isabela Puerto Plata be declared World Heritage

La Isabela is the first 'city' founded by Columbus in the new world. The settlement can therefore be seen as the first city built by Europeans in the new world. Columbus named the new settlement after the Spanish Queen Isabela: 'La Isabela'. In the 1950s dictator Trujillo ordered that the remains of La Isabela should be restored and made suitable for exhibition. Unfortunately these orders were misunderstood and most of the remains of this first European city in the New World were swept into the sea with a big bulldozer. If La Isabela is recognized as World Heritage, then the Dominican Republic can count on financial support from UNESCO to restore the heritage in good condition and to keep it that way.
