Oranjestad (literally "Orange Town") is the capital and largest city of Aruba. It is located on the southern coast near the western end of the island country. In the local language, Papiamento, Oranjestad is often referred to simply as "Playa". As of 2015, the population of the capital was around 35,000.
The Willem III Clock/Bell Tower was added to the west side of Fort Zoutman in 1868. Both the fort and the tower are now the Historical Museum of Aruba.
