The Archdiocese of Santo Domingo (Latin: Archidioecesis Metropolitae Sancti Dominici; Spanish: Arquidiócesis Metropolitana de Santo Domingo) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical jurisdiction or archdiocese of the Catholic Church in the Dominican Republic. The see was erected 8 August 1511 as the Diocese of Santo Domingo and elevated to archdiocese on 12 February 1546.[1][2]
In recognition of the fact that the see was the first established in the New World, the Archbishop of Santo Domingo can use the title of Primate of the Indies, according to the bull of Pope Pius VII Divinis praeceptis issued on 28 November 1816 [3] and ratified by the Concordat between the Holy See and the Dominican Republic signed on 16 June 1954.[4][5]
The archiepiscopal see is the Santa María la Menor cathedral, a World Heritage Site, dedicated to St. Mary of the Incarnation, which was designated a minor basilica by Pope Benedict XV in his apostolic letter Inter Americae on 14 June 1920.[6]
