Fort Beekenburg
A rounded defensive tower above Caracasbaai connects the southeastern coast with Curaçao’s military history. Its position helps explain why this sheltered approach needed protection.
Beekenburg offers a different fort experience from the government buildings in Punda. Its compact tower and lower battery were designed around the bay and the back approach to Willemstad. Look at how the defenses face the water, then use the outlook to place the peninsula in the wider coastal landscape.
