Original: They consist of Santo Domingo de GuzmÃ n National District and three municipal divisions of Santo Domingo Province : Santo Domingo Norte ( Villa Mella Municipal District , etc. ) , Santo Domingo Este ( San Isidro Municipal District , etc. ) , and Santo Domingo Oeste . These three border Santo Domingo de GuzmÃ n on the north , east , and west , respectively .
Simplified: With that division , many parts of the old city are now part of the Santo Domingo Province and not of the city of Santo Domingo de GuzmÃ n/O. But they are still part of the metropolitan area of the city ( the Greater Santo Domingo ) .
