Curacao ? A mini Holland

PROPERTY FOR SALE IN CURACAO is beautiful, most with breathtaking views of the island around. Despite the sparkling Caribbean Sea and a dry climate, Curacao is very like the Dutch city of Amsterdam. The capital of Willemstad dates back to the Dutch attack in 1634, and the out-linings of its fort walls are still visible. Punda - also called "old Willemstad" is known for its imposing fortress - and Pietermaai - a suburb of downtown Willemstad, known for its colonial houses. Perhaps the most interesting fact is that the buildings constructed in Punda were in fact perfect replicas of the homes and businesses that lined the canals of Amsterdam.
