23 Queen Emma Bridge in Punda, Eastside of Willemstad, Curaçao

The Queen Emma Bridge was built in 1888 during the reign of Emma of Waldeck and Pyrmont. She was the wife of King William III. Nicknamed the Swinging Old Lady, this 550 foot pedestrian bridge spans the St. Anna Bay and connects the Punda (in background) and the Otrobanda sides of Willemstad. When a ship approaches, its diesel propellers cause the sixteen pontoons to swing open the bridge.
