Ciudad de
Panamá
Today
Ciudad de Panamá has the advantage of offering a great
architectural diversity. The various styles of buildings which
you can admire there originate in two distinct periods. The
first is the colonial period, of which there remain some beautiful
examples in Casco Viejo. The second, later, is associated
the opening of the railway line connecting Colón and
the town of Panamá, like with the construction of the
channel.
The historical
center of the Panamá news is in the sector of San Felipe,
usually called Casco Viejo. It is there that you will find
the majority of the buildings dating from the colonial time
as well as a great number of residences of style.
Central
Avenida, pedestrian partly and particularly animated, is the
best access for the visit. You can see all this sector with
foot in one day. In addition, some interesting buildings can
also be visited in various sectors of Bella Vista and Calidonia.

along the north-eastern coast of Panamá, in the Caribbean
Sea, Comarca de San Blas has the characteristic to be the
only province of the country exclusively populated by an Amerindian
population, Kunas, which calls their ground Kuna Yala. It
is also the only one with being exclusively managed by an
Amerindian population. So it is indexed under the name of
comarca, meaning "area" or "territory",
and not under the term of "province".
