Oranjestad, Capital city in Sint Eustatius, Caribbean Netherlands.
Oranjestad spans across Upper Town with residential zones and Lower Town featuring a waterfront with maritime activities and colonial structures at 100 meters elevation.
The town functioned as the primary Dutch Caribbean trading port during the 18th century, facilitating extensive commerce between Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
Fort Oranje stands in the town center, accompanied by the Dutch Reformed Church from 1755 and numerous preserved merchant houses from colonial times.
F.D. Roosevelt Airport connects the town primarily through Winair flights from Sint Maarten, while local taxis provide transportation within Upper and Lower sections.
The surrounding waters contain more than 200 shipwrecks and archaeological fragments, forming an underwater museum of maritime trade history.
