.Altos de Chavon Artists Village is a vibrant cultural
community perched above the Chavon River. Cobblestone paths, coral stone fountains and terra cotta buildings create a magical effect in this village designed by Robert Coppa, an Italian architect who at the time was a Paramount movie set designer. He built it in the late 1970s to emulate a 15th century southern Italy-southern Spain village.

Although more Italian Rennaissance than Dominican, Altos de Chavon is one of my favorite places. Love your intro photo!!!
