Iglesia de San José

　　This Casco Viejo church protects the famous Altar de Oro (Golden Altar), the sole relic salvaged after privateer Henry Morgan sacked Panamá Viejo. 　　According to local legend, when word came of Morgan’s impending attack, a priest attempted to disguise the altar by painting it black.

Mercado de Mariscos

　　Get your seafood fix above a bustling fish market. Come early, as service at peak time is painfully slow.

Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción

　　Built between 1619 and 1626, this cathedral is the best-preserved building of the Panamá Viejo ruins. In traditional fashion, it was designed so that its two side chapels gave the cathedral a cross-like shape when viewed from the heavens. The bell tower at the back of the church may have...

Teatro Nacional
