Brionplein, Willemstad

Brionplein is a square in the Otrobanda district of Willemstad, Curaçao.

The square bears the name of Admiral Pedro Luis Brión, a Curaçaoan who contributed much to the South American freedom struggle in the 19th century; a statue of him stands in the square. The square is also called Awasá. This comes from awa salu, which means salt water.

It is located west of the entrance to the bay with the pontoon bridge. On the southern side of the square is the Rif Fort. In the southwest corner is a colonial building that houses the police station. On the western side of the square is a hotel, stores, and behind them the Episcopal buildings. The northern side of the square is bordered by Hotel-casino Otrobanda with part of the Kurá Hulanda museum in the western corner. The eastern side of the square is bordered by the water that gives access to the St. Anna Bay; via the Queen Emma Bridge one reaches the district of Punda.

The square usually presents a lively sight with sellers of tourist goods, a kiosk where music is sometimes played and with terraces on the west side.
