City Hall (Oranjestad)

City Hall, also known as the Eloy Arends House, is a cultural heritage monument located in the heart of Oranjestad, Aruba. Originally built in the 1920s as a residence for Dr. Jacobo Eloy Maria Arends and his fiancée, the building showcases South American Neo-Baroque architecture. Over the years, it has served various purposes, including a dentist's office and a restaurant, before being restored in the late 1990s to house civil registrations, passports, and marriages. Today, it stands as a significant landmark and a popular venue for tourists looking to tie the knot in a historic setting.
