Centro di Actividad Rancho

Centro di Actividad Rancho is a dedicated community and cultural center located in the heart of the Rancho district, the historic fishing neighborhood of Oranjestad. Managed by the Stichting Rancho (Rancho Foundation), the center is much more than a meeting hall; it is a vital site for the preservation of Aruba’s maritime heritage and urban history. The center serves as a hub for community empowerment, hosting educational workshops, historical tours, and social programs designed to revitalize the area while honoring its roots. By providing a space where residents and visitors can learn about traditional Aruban lime kilns, historic architecture, and the neighborhood’s deep connection to the sea, Centro di Actividad Rancho ensures that the spirit of “Old Oranjestad” remains a vibrant part of the island’s future.
