Fort Nassau

Fort Nassau (officially: Fort Oranje Nassau) is a fort situated in Willemstad, Curaçao. It is located on a 68 metres (223 ft) high hill overlooking the city of Willemstad and its harbour. It was constructed in 1796 as Fort Republiek. In 1807, Curaçao was captured by the British, and the fort was renamed Fort George. In 1816, Curaçao was returned to Netherlands, and the fort received its current name. It lost its military function, but was used as a control tower for the Queen Emma Bridge. Since 1959, it is in use as a restaurant.
