 Curaçao
is the largest of the six islands that comprise the Netherlands Antilles.
It gained autonomy from the Netherlands in 1954, but the Dutch influence
is still very visible in Willemstad's architecture and culture. With the
growth of the oil industry in Curaçao in the early 20th century, workers
and their families came to the island from more than 50 countries,
providing a varied and vibrant population. Everyone should experience the
sights, sounds and energy of this unique destination.
