Tourism Minister David Collado was in Montecristi on 20 February 2024 for the inauguration of renovation works carried out at the Duarte Park (4,935 square meters) in the northwesternmost provincial capital city.
“Today we return here fulfilling our commitment to deliver this emblematic Montecristi park refurbished,” said Minister Collado.
He stated that this work is part of the effort made by the Ministry of Tourism to promote the development of that province as a tourist destination.
The iconic metal structure of the Montecristi Clock Tower was refurbished. The tower is a focal point of the space with its historic and architectural value.
Sidewalks were rebuilt and the exterior fence. There were works in landscaping and lighting, too. Fountains were rebuilt.
A new rain water drainage solution was integrated.
The work was carried out by the Ministry of Tourism’s Tourist Zone Infrastructure Execution Committee (CEIZTUR), headed by Sixto Brea, at a cost of RD$35,616,215.21.
