Panama Viejo
Panama Viejo is the ruins of the very first Panama City, built more than 500 years ago by the sea. Today you can walk among the old stone walls and a tall bell tower that still stands.
People love it because a real pirate attack long ago left these ancient ruins behind, full of history and mystery. Climbing the old tower and imagining the past makes it feel like a real adventure.
The Pirate Story
A famous pirate attacked this city long ago, and the people left it in ruins to build a safer town. Guides tell the exciting tale as you walk through the old streets.
The Old Tower
A tall stone bell tower still stands after hundreds of years, and you can climb up for a great view. From the top you can see the modern city sparkling in the distance.
A Museum to Explore
Next to the ruins there is a museum with models and treasures that show how people lived long ago. It helps you picture what the busy old city once looked like.
