Penha Building, Curaçao, Dutch colonial building in Willemstad, Curaçao.
The Penha Building features three stories with corner balconies, tall shutter windows, and curved gables adorned with profiled moldings at Handelskade waterfront.
Constructed in 1708 as a warehouse, the building initially served as a residence for the widow of a Dutch governor before becoming a commercial establishment.
The structure exemplifies Dutch Caribbean architecture through its yellow facade, decorative elements, and arcade galleries typical of the Punda district.
The building currently houses a luxury perfume store where visitors can purchase tax-free fragrances and beauty products from the Penha & Sons company.
Two distinct dates marking 1708 remain visible on both the east and west gable tops of this UNESCO World Heritage structure.
