Built soon after the first Spanish settlement in the 16th century, this small church features the famous Golden Altar (Altar de Oro), which is made entirely of pure gold.

We enjoyed walking through the church in Old Town. The alter is amazing, covered in gold leaf. The only thing I found odd was that the “prayer candles” were electric! I guess it makes sense when you don’t have someone to monitor an open flame in an old wood church. It was a quiet, cool, contemplative place to visit.

This Baha’i House of worship has a peaceful, tranquil and spiritual energy which allows all to meditate with their Creator. We found people of many faiths communing with the Lord in silent contemplation!

Built between 1688 and 1796, this is a magnificent example of the religious colonial architecture of Panama.

It took over a century to build this wonderful temple, from 1688 until 1796. It is located in front of the Plaza Mayor, also known as Plaza de la Independencia and Plaza Catedral. The church bears the title of Catedral Basilica Santa Maria La Antigua. The main altar is beautiful, built in one single block of Italian marble of Carrrara. The altarpiece behind it is colorful, with marbles brought in from many different places in the world, representing the warm welcome given in Panama to people from all over the world. The altar was blessed by Pope Francis on January 2019, and it contains several relics related to Panama: bones of Santa Rosa de Lima, a portion of the cassock of San Oscar Romero, and blood of San Juan Pablo II. Among the various religious figures that adorn the Cathedral are a statue of Santa María La Antigua, the patroness of Panama, with a flower in her hand and Baby Jesus in her arms.
