Panama City

Panama City

Panama City is located at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal and serves as the capital of Panama, as well as its political, administrative, and cultural center. The city was established by the Spanish in 1519 and served as the starting point and base for the Spanish Empire's invasion of the Inca Empire, which is now part of Peru. It was also one of the important trade centers for Europeans in the New World at that time.

Panama City is a picturesque seaside city nestled between the sea and the mountains, with straight and clean streets. Ancient churches and castles blend harmoniously with modern and innovative architecture, all set against a backdrop of lush trees and blooming flowers, creating a delightful scenery. The city is divided into two parts: the old district and the new district. The old district features narrow streets and retains some Spanish colonial forts and houses with terraces. The new district, on the other hand, has neat streets, wide roads, and a large number of modern buildings, high-rise structures, and contemporary garden-style residences.

Panama City offers numerous tourist destinations, including the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (Bilbao Guggenheim Museum), the Panama Canal Museum, the Church of San Francisco, the National Theatre, the Museum of Anthropology, and the Museum of Ethnography.
