Casco Viejo

Casco Viejo (Old Quarter in Spanish), also known as Casco Antiguo or San Felipe, is the historic site of Panama City. It was constructed in 1673 in order to substitute the original city, which had been entirely destroyed by a pirate invasion led by Henry Morgan. In 1997, it was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A walk around this area will offer tourists chances to uncover a fascinating combination of Spanish colonial, neoclassical, and art nouveau architecture. It cannot be denied that this is a vibrant and colorful town, with soccer balls bouncing off the walls of 300-year-old churches and Latin music blasting from radios

Casco Viejo has been a tourist attraction in recent years as a result of urbanization. The region is defined by its abundance of churches and plazas, as well as a wide range of cafes and restaurants where visitors can stop for a quick bite.
