Willemstad, Capital city in Curaçao, Caribbean
Willemstad extends across Sint Anna Bay with four districts: Punda, Otrobanda, Scharloo, and Pietermaai Smal, connected by the Queen Emma floating bridge.
The Dutch West India Company established this trading port in 1634, developing it into a major center for maritime commerce in the Caribbean region.
The historic center features buildings painted in bright Caribbean colors, combining Dutch architectural elements with local construction techniques and materials.
The city center contains numerous restaurants, shops, and museums within walking distance, while taxis and buses provide transportation to other areas.
The Mikvé Israel-Emanuel Synagogue, constructed in 1674, maintains a sand-covered floor and stands as the oldest continuously used synagogue in the Americas.
