The Fortaleza Ozama was constructed between 1502 and 1508 by order of the Governor of Hispaniola, Frey Nicholas de Ovando, the founder of the city of Santo Domingo. It was built in order to defend the city against attacks by pirates and privateers. The Fortaleza Ozama has the distinction of never having been taken by force of arms, notwithstanding all the military interventions that the city has withstood over the centuries. To the left of the entrance to the fort is the statue of Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo, who was sent from Salamanca, Spain to Santo Domingo to occupy the position of captain of the fort and warden of the prison there.
