What's In Panama ?

Have you ever wondered what's in Casco Antiguo region of Panama? I was curious after reading a lot of posts about this place. Here is what I've found in Wikipedia.

Casco Antiguo was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1998. After the first settlement was destroyed by diseases and the attacks of pirates, being the last one and most remembered one Henry Morgan, the city moved into a rocky peninsula that was both healthier and easier to defend. In 1673 they founded what today is called officially Casco Antiguo, but is also known as San Felipe, Catedral and more commonly, Casco Viejo.

Currently under a revitalization process, Casco Antiguo is a mix of different architectural styles, which reflects the cultural diversity of the country. Caribbean, Republican, Art Deco, French and Colonial mix in a site of less than 800 buildings. Most of Panama´s City´s main monuments are located in Casco Antiguo: The Salón Bolivar, the main Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), the National Theatre (founded in 1908), Las Bovedas Monument, La Iglesia de La Merced, La Iglesia San Felipe Neri, Iglesia San José with its distinctive Golden Altar, which was saved from Panama La Vieja and transported into the new city.

Sounds like a great place to see huh? Well, if you're a traveler and and investor, you might want to check out this place and also the Hotel Casco Antiguo - a condo hotel in the region. This condo hotel is now open for interested people who might want to invest and purchase some units. If you want to get more details then Register for an eBrochure Here .
