Scharloo East

In the past the Scharloo district was the luxurious area of the city of Willemstad. The rich merchants were living here. This district is fallen into disrepair in the course of time. Fortunately in the last few years things are changing.
A lot of buildings in this area are restored and are now in use by banks, trust offices, laywer and consultancy firms.
Also in this area are some modern buildings located like the public library and the new office of the Central Bank of the Netherlands Antilles.
