Old Quarter is second Tourist Destination in Panama! |
In 1671, after the Pirate Henry Morgan attacked, looted and destroyed the Old City, Old Panama . Its residents and settlers, desperate for a safer and easier location to defend themselves against future seige, decided on what is now The Old Quarter.
This unique walled city, consisting of 16th & 17th Century Spanish Colonial Architecture, is a gem which was unknown to most of the outside world until 2003 when UNESCO named Old Quarter a World Heritage Site.
