Quizfrage

Why is the strait between Punda and Otrobanda called St. Anna Bay?

Antwort

The Spaniards landed in the bay between the two current parts of the city in 1499 on Saint Anna’s name day (= 26th of July).
This is why they called the bay “Bahia de Santa Ana”, in Papiamentu Sint Annabaai.

St. Anna Bay is the strait that separates the two districts of Willemstad, Punda and Otrobanda, and is also the entrance to the harbor

  • Quiz Question

    Queen Emma or Queen Juliana Bridge - which one crosses the Saint Anna Bay?

    Answer

    Both 😉

    The bridges connect the districts of Otrobanda and Punda across the strait of St. Anna Bay.

    The Queen Emma Bridge is the ancient, wooden pontoon bridge that can be driven completely to the shore side of Otrobanda so that ships can pass. You can only cross the 167 meter length on foot or on a maximum of 2 wheels.

    The Queen Juliana Bridge is the main connection between the city districts by car and towers above everything. The steel bridge is painted in the national colors blue and yellow, 56 meters high and 500 meters long.

  • Quiz Question

    Where does the drinking water come from in Curacao?

    Answer

    From the two Aqualectra seawater desalination plants in Mundo Nobo and Nieuwpoort.

    The groundwater on Curacao is not drinkable and the deposits are too small. It is used to irrigate the sparse farmland.
