About Cristo Rey
Cristo Rey is a sector in the city of Santo Domingo in the Distrito Nacional of the Dominican Republic. The neighbourhood is populated by the lower middle class. This heavily populated area was formed in the last major resettlement for industrious peasants mostly coming from the North of the country, especially around 1970–1974, when the National Zoo was built on the Arroyo Riverside. The area is notorious for crime, being one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Santo Domingo.
