The Old City or Casco Viejo is the name given to the place where the city of Panama moved in 1673. This city, designed in a reticular way towards the four cardinal points, was characterized by the agility of its streets and shutters, which was worthy of being considered a classic model of an Indian city. It is located on a small peninsula, surrounded by a mantle of rocky cliffs, within the current hamlet of San Felipe. In 1997, the Old City of Panama is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
