Gemini, Mars or Ares, and Leo, from the vault of the Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary, built 1649, dedicated to the Virgin of the Rosary, patron saint of the Dominicans, in the Church and Convent of the Dominicans, built 1510, the first catholic building in the New World, in the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic, in the Caribbean. The vault of the chapel is decorated with the 12 zodiacal signs around the sun and Olympian gods, and is also known as the Zodiac Chapel. The convent became the University Santo Tomas de Aquino in 1538, the first university in the Americas. Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
