Otrabanda is a historically important part of Willemstad, the capital of Curacao. It contains many important pieces of architecture. However, in comparison to Punda, which lies across the St. Anna Bay, Otrobanda has always been seen as the poorer part of the city. [Note that the fourth letter is spelled either a or o.]

Where is the Emma Bridge Located?
The Queen Emma Bridge is a pontoon bridge across St. Anna Bay in Curaçao. It connects the Punda and Otrobanda quarters of the capital city, Willemstad. The bridge is hinged and opens regularly to enable the passage of ocean going vessels. On the opposite end from the hinge is a small shelter where an operator controls two diesel engines turning propellers. The propellers are mounted perpendicular to the length of the bridge and allow it to swing parallel to the shore. The process only takes several minutes to complete.
