Pictures from Week 2 - Panama Viejo

Kitty´s Mom and Sister showed me around Panama Viejo... the original Panama City before it was raided by Captain Morgan, the city was rebuilt 2kms west.. and of course, grew around the ruins... turning it into a touristic park. They have started to rebuild the ruins using a clearly different stone so you can see what is left... and what it would have looked like..

The Ruins in Casco Viejo, Panama City













Buildings in Casco Viejo































The Golden church in Casco Viejo, As Kitty tells me...
everything inside the church is lined with solid gold trim,
when the city was raided by pirates, the priest covered the entire inside with mud to hide the gold... after the city was raided, the pirates came to the church to loot its riches, when they entered they felt so bad for the church that they made a donation
