14 Coat of Arms in Punda, Eastside of Willemstad, Curaçao

This coat of arms graces the pediment of the Parliament di Kòrsou building in Punda. The crest closely resembles the Royal Arms of the Netherlands. The greater version with a mantle was introduced in 1815 when William I was the first king of the Netherlands. It was used until 1907. The two forward-facing lions rampart hold a shield from the House of Nassau which dates back to 1250.
