On the northern coast of Aruba, lie the abandoned gold mines that were the center of Arubas gold rush during the nineteenth century. In 1824, gold was finally discovered in Aruba, and eventually, the industry produced more than 3 million pounds of gold. These ruins at Bushiribana, are the remains of the gold melting furnace.
