Kortijn
The north-western part of Otrobanda developed after the alley quarter. It dates from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. The Kortijn plantation once covered this area, hence the quarter's name. It comprises a few monumental buildings dating from this period. They contain neoclassic features but are generally smaller than those in the older part of town. Further condensing occurred in Kortijn during the course of the 20th century. The World Heritage Committee has designated the Kortijn quarter as a transition area.

Pietermaai
The Pietermaai quarter developed in the 18th and 19th centuries outside the protective town wall and at some distance from Punda. This quarter extends along the southern coast of Curaçao and partially also east of the Waaigat. Pietermaai is based mainly on a linear structure, with buildings placed at right angles to the main axis. The quarter was endowed with urban villas, grand buildings and many smaller buildings. The premises mix 18th century appearance with neoclassic character and are colour-washed in various colours.



Scharloo
The Scharloo quarter developed north of the Waaigat as from the middle of the 19th century. Centuries-old plantations were established here, but were gradually incorporated into the urban sphere. Many buildings were erected here, the majority of which were owned by Jewish merchants. They were mostly two-floor country houses on spacious lots. The architectural style is predominantly neoclassical, with prominent frontons and pillars – with a colonial character – but Baroque influences can also be identified. Obviously, the outer walls of these houses have also been stuccoed and colour-washed.
