'''Willemstad''' was foundedThe by the dutch to establish a trading settlement at a fine natural harbour on the Caribbean island of [[Curaçao]] in 1634. The town developed continuously over the following centuries. The modern town consists of several distinct historic districts whose [[architecture]] reflects not only European urban-planning concepts but also styles from the [[Netherlands]] and from the [[Spain|Spanish]] and [[Portugal|Portuguese]] colonial towns with which Willemstad engaged in trade.
