Casco Viejo
Following the destruction of the old city in 1671, Casco Viejo was built as a walled city on a peninsula a few kilometers away from Panama Viejo to protect its settlers against future pirate attacks. At the beginning of the 20th century Casco Viejo formed the entire city but as Panama City expanded, the city’s elite abandoned Casco Viejo, and the neighborhood rapidly deteriorated. However, following an ambitious reclamation of this colonial district in recent years, it has regained some of its former glory and has become one of the main tourist attractions in Panama City.
