Basilica of St. Anne, Willemstad

Basilica of St. Anne, Willemstad, Minor basilica in Otrabanda, Willemstad, Curaçao.

The Basilica of St. Anne is a Roman Catholic church in the Otrabanda district of Willemstad, Curaçao, built between 1734 and 1752. It serves as co-cathedral of the Diocese of Willemstad alongside the cathedral of Our Lady the Queen of the Holy Rosary. Since 1997 it has formed part of the UNESCO-listed Historic Area of Willemstad.

Construction of this church began in the early 1700s and was part of the religious development during the Dutch colonial period in the Caribbean. It later received official recognition that elevated its status within the broader Catholic organization.

This place serves as a spiritual center for the Catholic community in Willemstad, where residents gather for worship and important religious moments. Visitors who step inside encounter a space where local faith traditions continue to shape daily life in the city.

The church is located in the old city center of Willemstad and can be reached on foot, ideally during cooler morning or evening hours. The door is typically open when services are not taking place, allowing visitors to explore the interior at their own pace.

Pope Paul VI elevated the church to minor basilica status in 1975, the same year it became co-cathedral of the Diocese of Willemstad alongside the cathedral of Our Lady the Queen of the Holy Rosary. Between 1843 and 1958 it had already served as pro-cathedral by decision of the Holy See.
