Aruba Parliament Building

For centuries, Aruba was a territory of the Netherlands.  On January 1, 1986, the island seceded from the Netherlands and became an independent state with its own elected parliament.

Aruba retained its political association with the Netherlands and now exists as a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
