    Golden Altar
    An interesting church whose main feature is the remarkable Golden Altar. If you come around Christmastime, you can also see an altogether the most incredible Nativity display.

    Ruins of the Original Settlement in Panama City
    Ruins of the original settlement near Panama City destroyed by the pirate Henry Morgan in the 1600's. Nice strolling amongst the ruins and climbing to the top of the church tower. Museum was closed due to Covid when I visited. Allow 1-2 hr for the visit. If you're short on time, Casco Viejo, Miraflores Locks and a trip to Monkey Island on Gatun lake should all be a priority over a visit here. $15 entrance fee.

    Cool old and new city views from here
    Stopped here as part of a walking tour. You can see views of the old and new city. It's on the south end of the old city so it's by the water. Good place to take pictures and walk around.

    Center of Casco Viejo
    Went here in November 2022 with a friend. We enjoyed this plaza, was pretty and surrounded by Casco Viejo. The Panama Canal Museum, the Cathedral and a small museum on the history of Panama. Could easily sit for a while and people watch as well.

    Beautiful Architecture
    Visited here as part of my self-guided walking tour of Casco Viejo. Built in 1760, Casa Gongora is the best example of a Spanish colonial home in Casco Viejo. It is now a cultural center for local artists.
