Summary:
Willemstad is situated on Curacao, an island belonging to the former Dutch Antilles. Since the second quarter of the 17th century the town has developed from a military base to a port town of consequence. Various locations in the city bear testimony to several phases of growth. Indeed, Willemstad has a number of clearly distinguishable areas. Many of them have their own history and culture, as well as distinctive structures and functions.
The historical town of Willemstad is situated on the south side of the leeward island of Curacao. Curacao is approximately 60 km long and no more than 12 km wide and lies between Aruba and Bonaire off the coast of Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea.
