Site History

The Convento de San Francisco in Santo Domingo was established as a Franciscan monastery sometime during the first half of the sixteenth century, and was occupied until the first quarter of the 19th century. The collections at the FLMNH resulted from salvage excavations done by John Goggin and Emile Boyrie in 1954, in the garden adjacent to the monastery. Extensive collections from other excavation projects at the site are at the Museo Casas Reales in Santo Domingo
