Fortchurch in Willemstad (Punda district), Curacao, Netherlands Antillies, West Indies, Caribbean

Built in 1769 as part of Fort Amsterdam in what is now the UNESCO World Heritage City of Willemstad, CuraAzao, the Fortchurch is a Historic Monument.
It has sturdy walls that were built to withstand any attack. A cannonball imbedded in an exterior wall has been left as a reminder of the attack by the British in 1804 when the Fort was shelled. (Local legend has it that the cannonball was fired from Captain Blighs infamous Bounty).
The original tower of the Church was octagonal and was replaced by a round one in 1903, which is clearly marked on the facade
