The Plaza Mayor, also known as the Cathedral or Independence Square, was originally the only planned square in the city. It was square, but became rectangular after two blocks disappeared due to a fire. The square was previously open as it was used for bullfights, horse racing and other festivals. Admire the surrounding busts of Panamanians involved in the separation of Panama from Colombia (1903). The central portrait represents Manuel Amador Guerrero, the first president of the Republic.

La ville de Panama se distingue des autres villes d'Amérique latine par la modernité de son centre-ville, mais elle n’est pas pour autant dépourvue d'histoire. De l'autre côté de la ville se trouve le vieux quartier de Casco Viejo, fondé en 1671. Regorgeant de cathédrales, musées, restaurants et clubs de jazz, Casco Viejo est l'un des quartiers les plus charmants de la ville de Panama. La Plaza de la Francia est le point de départ idéal pour explorer Casco Viejo. De la place de la vieille ville, vous pouvez observer à la fois la baie et les gratte-ciel. La place et l'obélisque ont été construits en hommage à la contribution de la France au canal de Panama et en particulier aux ouvriers qui sont morts pendant sa construction. Beaucoup d'ouvriers ont succombé à la fièvre jaune et au paludisme. Même si une visite des anciens cachots peut sembler morbide, elle présente un certain intérêt. Ils abritent aujourd'hui des boutiques et des restaurants

Beautiful place to visit ,enjoy the history of old Panama mixed with the new amenities. Coffee shops,antiques stores ,bar restaurants. You can walk from train station 5 de mayo and back or visit the Cinta costera( sea side) beside the casco viejo area.

Not much to do there. Other than walking and appreciate the scenery. I felt unsafe for a moment when we were at a mini supermarket and some dudes came in and one of them grabbed a soda and left without paying.
