Activity itinerary

Your first stop is the Beth Haim Jewish cemetery, consecrated in 1659, it is the oldest Caucasian cemetery on the island and in the Western Hemisphere. The site is also a Curacao National Monument. Then you will visit another historic site also created as a peaceful sanctuary, the Rooi Catootje plantation house. It dates to about 1820 and was originally known as ā€œRust en Vrede,ā€ which translates as ā€œRest and Peace.ā€ The house has been the property of the Maduro family since 1853. The house has now been preserved as a museum
Landhuis Chobolobo

Mikve Israel-Emanuel Synagogue
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
Guided tour inside the synagogue for an up-close look at religious life in Curacao. The Jewish faith has been practiced here without interruption since 1732 and one congregation itself is even older, having been established in 1651. The very fear of persecution is what drove many of Curacaoā€™s earliest Jewish residents to relocate to the island in the first place. They were rightfully more than a little guarded about their beliefs, even upon founding their congregation and building their synagogues nearly a century later.
