ARUBA - CHAPEL OF ALTO VISTA

Alto Vista Chapel stands on the hills above the north shore and to the northeast of the town of Noord, on the island of Aruba.

Alto Vista Chapel was completed in 1952. The chapel stands in the same location as the original chapel, built by an Indian from Santa Ana de Coro (Venezuela) in 1750. The name of this Indian is Domingo Silvestre.

In 1816 the chapel was closed and left to the elements. When Aruba was attacked by German submarine in World War II, Catholics in Aruba decided to build a votive chapel at the site of the original chapel at Alto Visa.

Alto Vista Chapel is a beautiful and very quiet place. Don't miss this place during your stay in Aruba.
