I've heard that Aruba has a majority Roman Catholic population, but what are their churches like in terms of architecture? Can someone give me an idea what they look like?

There is a Grotto that was uniquely built into the rocks. It is found in Seroe Preto (Black Hill). They ahve built it with their own architectural design.

There are also Churches around the island. Most of the Architectural designs are Spanish inspired. One of which is the Chapel of Alto Vista.

The designs of the churches are Spanish? I didn't know that the Spanish had that much influence on Aruba. Has the Dutch or the Portuguese inspired any of the church designs?

I haven't heard so much on the churches of Aruba. It's good to know that the churches are not an ordinary ones. These are actually designed and influenced by the Spaniards. Is the Chapel of Alto Vista the oldest chapel in the island?
