While much of the city is modern and shiny, the old part of Panama City offers an entirely different experience: narrow streets, a wide variety of architecture, and several landmarks that have withstood time.
In recent years, the Casco Viejo, as it is also called, has been undergoing a facelift, which is still going on. Fortunately so: it is the oldest city on the Pacific coast of the Americas. Walking the sometimes narrow streets of the old district of Panama, you can read the history of the city by just looking at the houses. They come in very different shapes, sizes, and styles. Ramshackle wooden houses that remind of the Caribbean, luxurious mansions, houses with balconies with flowers, houses even relatively modern houses all stand side by side and tell a story of different influences and inhabitants over the centuries: Spanish, French, American - unique in the Americas. Inevitably, there are the squares so typical of countries where the Spanish set up shop, with white-washed churches, monumental and historical buildings like the Salón Bolívar where the famous liberator organized a get-together to establish a pan-American congress in 1826.
