St. Francis of Assisi Church, Oranjestad, Pro-cathedral in Oranjestad, Aruba.
The St. Francis of Assisi Church features a tall tower structure and stands as a central religious building in downtown Oranjestad.
The present church building represents the fifth construction on this site since 1813, following multiple collapses of previous structures throughout the 19th century.
Services at St. Francis of Assisi Church are conducted in both Papiamento and English, reflecting the multicultural nature of Aruban society.
The church operates under the Diocese of Willemstad and welcomes visitors to attend religious ceremonies throughout the week.
The church tower functioned as a navigation point for maritime vessels, being the highest structure in the area during earlier periods.
