Curacao's Quarantine Building is one of the island's most fascinating and historic buildings. The building was built in 1883 and served as a quarantine site for passengers coming to Curacao by ship. It was used to keep out possible diseases and pests from abroad and protect the health of the local population. Today, the building has been restored and is open to visitors interested in the island's history.
The Quarantine Building was an important part of Curacao's infrastructure during the 19th century. The island was then an important stopping point for trade ships sailing between Europe and the Americas. The Quarantine Building was a way to protect the local population from contagious diseases entering the island through these trade ships.
