Video imagery of the The Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins, a historic site located on the northern coast of Aruba. This area marks the remnants of a gold smelting facility that was built in 1872 during the Aruba gold rush, which began in the 19th century after gold was discovered there in 1824. The mill was used to process ore from mines across the island, extracting gold and contributing significantly to Aruba’s economy during that period.
The Bushiribana ruins are characterized by their dramatic stone remains, set against the backdrop of Aruba’s rugged coastal landscape. The structure was built using natural stone from the island, and its design was influenced by the fortifications of the period, intended to protect the valuable operations from pirates and other threats.
Today, the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins are a popular tourist attraction, offering a glimpse into Aruba’s rich history. Visitors can explore the ruins, enjoy the scenic views of the surrounding desert-like terrain and the Caribbean Sea, and learn about the island’s gold mining era. The site is often included in island tours, and it’s a favorite spot for photography due to its unique historical significance and natural beauty. Nearby, other attractions such as the Natural Bridge ruins and the Ayo and Casibari Rock Formations contribute to the area’s appeal for those interested in the natural and historical aspects of Aruba.
