HISTORY

In the early 18th century the

enclosed city of Willemstad

numbered over 200 houses, with

almost nowhere left to build inside

the walls. The first expansion

of the city occurred about half

a kilometer to the east, in the

Pietermaai suburb.

At the time Pietermaai was a

narrow spit of land between the

sea and Waaigat inlet; part of

Waaigat was later filled in, signifi-

cantly widening Pietermaai.

Residences were constructed on

both sides of this spit, well apart

from each other. Only after the

Punda wall was pulled down in

1860 were houses built between

Pietermaai and Punda.

Today most of the stately Pieter-

maai mansions have been restored

as offices, restaurants, hotels and

other commercial properties.

Pietermaai is definitely the new

‘Quartier Latin’ of Curaçao.
