I recorded the following images in Panama City 's Casco Viejo district in the spring of 2006 during my Central America travels of the same year.

The outskirts of this part of town. Much of it is being restored at a rapid pace. There will come a day when Casco Viejo is 100% newly restored and it will look as it did in colonial times. I like it old.


The Casco Viejo lays at the south western tip of Panama City and jets out into the sea on three sides. It was once called Las Siete Calles- the seven streets - because it was originally made up of only seven parallel streets that had narrow alleys connecting them. The city has since grown and it now stretches far away to the southwest.

The skyline of the new city over the bay. Panama is by far the nicest capital city in Central America.



Old buildings in Casco Antiguo.



Inside of a home in Casco Viejo. This area is rapidly being cleaned up and I do not think that such scenes as this will be present in ten years. It seems as if the Panamanian authorities realized that they could make money off of the old, dilapidated part of town that stuck out like a peer into the sea.



Old homes in the old part of the city.
