St. Stanislaus Church Casa De Campo
St. Stanislaus Catholic Church is no doubt the signature landmark in this quaint little town of Altos de Chavon.
Situated on the tall banks over looking the Chavon River in Santa Dominica, this quiant little village of Altos de Chavon was designed as a replica of a 16th century Mediterranean village and is one of the most fascinating landmarks in the Caribbean.
Designed by Dominican architect Jose Antionio Caro and created by Italian designer Roberto Coppa, the stone pathways ,ironwork furnniture and buildings were all designed by Dominican artisians. The stone work and iron work was all hand crafted and created individually.

St. Stanislaus Church
It was built as a center of culture for the Dominican people, who along with tourists and working artists flock to this magical center for inspiration and enlightenment.
Take a few minutes and stroll along cobblestone streets and enjoy the architectural grandeur of days gone by as you take in the detailed, amazing quality craftsmanship of yesteryear. Quaint shops, boutiques, art galleries, fine restaurants and an archeological museum are just a sampling of the world that awaits atop the picturesque cliffs of Casa de Campo.
