A (rather) new carillon in Punda, in the old centre of Willemstad, Curaçao

The carillon was installed in 1958 with bells made by Petit & Fritsen.
It is an electric-automatic carillon of 23 bells. At the time of installation it would play hourly (or even every 30 minutes?) , but nowadays it plays 2 times a day: at noon and at 18:00.
It was installed by Spritzer & Fuhrmann, renowned jewellers, on the corner of Breedestraat and Da Costa Gomezplein.

In 1997 the historic city center of Willemstad (Curaçao) was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in part because of the peculiar style of the architecture.

(In 1990, Spritzer and Fuhrmann had to close its doors after selling off most of their properties).
