Which Dominican Republic capital was founded by Columbus's brother Bartholomew? Santo Domingo was founded by Bartholomew Columbus.

Bartholomew established the settlement on Hispaniola between 1496 and 1498, during the period when his brother Christopher was away or serving elsewhere. It was first called La Nueva Isabela, honoring Queen Isabella I of Castile, and was later renamed Santo Domingo for Saint Dominic.

The city grew on the Ozama River and became the first enduring seat of Spanish colonial government in the Americas. Its Colonial Zone preserves landmarks including the first cathedral, university, monastery, fortress, and castle built by Europeans in the New World.

A common mix-up is La Isabela, an earlier settlement founded on Hispaniola during Columbus's second voyage. Santo Domingo is the modern capital of the Dominican Republic and is widely described as the oldest continuously inhabited European-founded city in the Americas.
