Step back into the 16th century at Museo de Panamá Viejo, the original site of Panama City. This isn't just a museum; it's an immersive journey through the ruins of the first European settlement on the Pacific coast. You'll wander through the remains of a city once brimming with riches, famously sacked by the pirate Henry Morgan, and even climb the original cathedral tower for breathtaking views that contrast the ancient stones with the modern city skyline. The on-site museum beautifully showcases the pre-Hispanic and colonial artifacts unearthed right here, giving you a deep sense of the city's dramatic history.
