QuaRentine houseWhen the old sailing ships (1600-1700) arrived at Curacao they would drop anchor in the Caracas bay. Sick crew and slaves were transported to the Quaremtine house to recover or die.
The Quarantine house is still sitting there in its original shape next to for Bleekenburg for you to visit. Inside you can still see the posts to which the trechers were being stacked. Just about any visitor to the Quarentine house walks away with wild dreams of future possibilities of the house: hotel, restaurant, private villa, to many to mention. We wonder what your ideas will be! |
