Spanish and Portuguese Jews from the Netherlands and Brazil built the Mikvé Israel-Emanuel (The Hope of Israel-Emanuel) synagogue in Willemstad, Curaçao. Consecrated in 1732, it is the oldest synagogue in continuous use in the Americas. Willemstad was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997 for its colorful and historical Dutch colonial architecture that includes the synagogue, one of the city’s major tourist sites.
