Fort Nassau in Willemstad, Curaçao, is a historic fortress that dates back to the early 17th century. Built in 1797 by the Dutch, the fort was originally intended to protect the island's inner bay and the settlement of Willemstad from potential naval attacks. Perched on a strategic hill, it offers panoramic views of the surrounding area, including the Schottegat harbor and the city itself. Over the years, it has served various roles, including as a signal station and a control tower.
