Located about 5 mi/8 km north of Oranjestad, Noord, Aruba, is the site of St. Anna Church, a neo-Gothic-inspired church that has high-vaulted ceilings and stained-glass windows. Its 120-year-old, hand-carved oak altar is a true work of art.
Not far away is the little Chapel of Alto Vista. Although the chapel is relatively new (it was built in 1952), this was the site of Aruba's first Catholic Church, built in 1750. We like the chapel's rather barren countryside setting overlooking the sea.
