Laguna Verde fair
In Laguna Verde, Dominican Republic, a temporary carnival fairground is set up adjacent to numerous political billboards. The billboards advertise candidates for municipal elections, including Oneida Veras and Joselo Martinez & Cesarina, for the 2016-2020 term, reflecting the active political landscape of the region. The presence of carnival rides, such as a Ferris wheel and spinning pods, alongside campaign advertisements, highlights the blend of local entertainment and political engagement in communities like La Otra Banda, which is also indicated by road signage pointing to nearby tourist destinations such as Punta Cana and Bávaro.
The Basílica Catedral Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia, a modernist Catholic pilgrimage site in Higüey, Dominican Republic, designed to resemble hands in prayer.
The Basílica Catedral Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia in Higüey, Dominican Republic, stands as a significant Catholic pilgrimage site. Completed in 1971, its distinctive modernist design by French architects André-Jacques Dunoyer de Segonzac and Pierre Dupré features soaring concrete arches and geometric forms intended to represent hands in prayer. The basilica was commissioned to honor the Virgin of Altagracia, the protector of the Dominican people, and it holds the status of a Minor Basilica. Its 80-meter bell tower and monumental entrance arch draw thousands of visitors, particularly for the Feast of Altagracia on January 21.
