  Panama Viejo (also called Panama La Vieja) was the first European settlement on the Pacific Coast of both the Americas. It was founded in 1519 by Pedro Arías de Ávila and inhabited until 1672 when the English bucaneer Henry Morgan attacked and destroyed the city. Today there is an interesting museum at the visitor center and the ruins of various churches and monasteries open to visitors. Some are in a very poor condition, others have been carefully restored. The highlight is the tower of the ancient cathedral offering not only views over Panama Viejo but also over modern Panama City.
