Casco Viejo
Casco Viejo is Panama City's historic peninsula district, established after the first city was destroyed in 1671 and now best explored through its streets, plazas and architectural contrasts.

Keep exploring Panama City with our travel partners.
Walk here to see the city that followed Panamá Viejo. The compact district connects the Metropolitan Cathedral, historic churches, plazas and waterfront defenses, while its mix of colonial, French, Caribbean and republican buildings shows later chapters of the capital on neighboring streets.
What to look for
Plaza de la Independencia and the Metropolitan Cathedral form a civic center.
Las Bóvedas and Plaza de Francia sit near the peninsula's waterfront edge.
Churches and townhouses show several periods of architecture on nearby streets.
Useful to know
Explore the district on foot to compare its plazas, churches and residential streets.
Keep Panamá Viejo as a separate visit; it is the original city site across town.
