Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao, hosted from 1651 onward one of the oldest and most important Jewish communities in the Americas. Of Sephardic origin (refugees from Dutch Brazil and Iberian conversos), the Mikvé Israël community founded in 1732 the eponymous synagogue, the oldest synagogue in continuous service in the Americas. Willemstad served as a bridgehead for Sephardic Jews who subsequently settled in Venezuela, Colombia, and the Caribbean.
