The Aldea Cultural was inaugurated Wednesday July 30th, event in which the whole town of La Romana rejoiced to see “La Fortaleza” officially re-open as the Aldea Cultural Santa Rosa de Lima. Leading the ceremony was Dominican Minister of Culture, Jose Antonio Rodríguez, as well as Luisa María Ortíz, provincial director of La Romana for the Ministry of Culture, who actually began work on this project more than 10 years ago.
Also taking part in the ceremony was Amarilis Santana, Senator for La Romana and Jenny Polanco, Dominican Designer and advocate of culture for La Romana.
This ground-breaking project was born out of a vision, a dream that Danilo Medina, today President of the Dominican Republic, had 4 years ago. That dream was to create Aldeas Culturales (Cultural Villages), celebrations of what it is to be Dominican, places where the incredible Dominican people have the opportunity to share who they are; their unique and remarkable culture.
