Old Meat Market
Look for the repeated arches and long roof of this nineteenth-century market hall beside the Waaigat, a compact architectural stop recalling Willemstad’s commercial waterfront.
The Old Meat Market makes the city’s everyday trading history visible in a surviving building. Its long gallery and repeated arches reflect the orderly layout of the hall opened in 1880. Pause outside to study the facade and its waterfront position; the appeal here is the architecture and mercantile history, with no interior visit or present-day market operation assumed.
