Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral - Willemstad, Curacao - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"The Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral -- also known as the Pietermaai Cathedral, or the Cathedral of the Holy Rosary is the name given to a religious building belonging to the Catholic Church. It serves as the cathedral of the Diocese of Willemstad and has under its jurisdiction all 3 country and 3 provincial Caribbean islands within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The cathedral was built in 1870, and dedicated on 11 July of that same year. It went through some minor renovations in late 2008.

Typical of Curacao's architecture and colors, its exterior is golden ochre with white trimming. The interior is nicely designed and painted a bright white. The cathedral is also adorned with many statues as those dedicated to the venerable Dr. José Gregorio Hernández (whom some faithful attribute miracles in Venezuela and Curacao) and dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the Pieta similar to that in Italy.

The cathedral follows the Roman or Latin rite and -- since 1997 -- is a World Heritage of Unesco as part of the Historic Area of the city and port of Willemstad."
