14 Temple Emanu-El in Punda, Eastside of Willemstad, Curaçao

Numerous Jewish families began arriving in Curaçao in the mid-17th century and formed the Mikvé Israel-Emanuel congregation. In 1864, a liberal group called the Reform Jewish Movement broke away. Three years later they built this Temple Emanuel. In 1963, when the two communities merged back together, this synagogue was closed. After a restoration was completed in 1998, it became the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
