"This former mill in the northern part of Aruba hints at the island’s relatively unknown gold rush. First discovered in 1824, gold remained an important Aruban industry until around 1916, with the island producing more than 3 million pounds in total. The precious metal is even reflected in Aruba ’s name, which roughly translates to “there was gold.” At this historic site, windswept stone ruins stand in the middle of a wide expanse of untouched land."

Such a pretty drive out here and so scenic once you’re here. It’s within the national park area and the whole area is so cool to explore. Highly recommend while visiting Aruba.

I love history type places that you can climb in and this one was perfect. Climbing in the old fort and taking pictures of the ocean was so cool. Great place to visit

Absolutely amazing views all around! Highly recommend. I went on Dec. 30th, Monday around 3:00p and it was not crowded. There is also a food truck next to the ruins.

Super cool landmark, packs alot of history. This was once a gold smelting plant that was built back in 1872?! Now it's just a touristy spot to take some cool pics! Becareful when you drive, pot holes and bumpy/rocky drive slow with low clearance car, but no need for 4wheel drive.

This is one of the places we went to on our best of Aruba excursions . There's not a whole lot of things to do on the island of Aruba for visiting these ruins is one of the things to do. It is nice to see that they preserved what was left of this once big building complex. It is right on the oceanfront with a great View!

Easy to get to with car. Somewhat dirt roads. Lots of history in this area. When you enter the building, there are uneven steps and steep steps; but are manageable. Not wheelchair accessible. Views are amazing. No need to book a tour for this as it is easy accessible by car and no entrance fees.

This place I highly recommend. The UTVs come to this site so more people around. Great photo ops and climbing, part of the short gold mining history. Food truck here with Mango Magic beer, etc. Placard at front gives a brief history.
