Scharloo

Scharloo (Papiamento: Skálo) is a neighbourhood and former suburb of Willemstad, Curaçao, a Lesser Antilles island in the Dutch Caribbean.

[2] In 1753, some houses had been built in Scharloo, however the government considered the area important for defence and did not allow new construction.

In 1861, the city walls were demolished, and a bridge was built in 1881, connecting Scharloo with Pietermaai.

[7] In 1999, Scharloo was designated a Unesco World Heritage Site and part of the historic centre of Willemstad.

[2] Bolo di Batrei (Wedding Cake) on Scharlooweg 77 is the most famous building of the street.
