Built in 1913, with rocks from the excavation of the Culebra Cut during construction of the Panama Canal, the Causeway joins Panama City with four islands: Naos, Perico, Culebra and Flamenco.
The site was part of a US military complex called Fort Amador that had established to protect the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. Currently, vestiges of the military installations can be seen on the islands.

Is the perfect place to go for a walk and enjoy some quality time with family or friends in one of its restaurants with traditional and international food.

It was founded in 1673 as the New City of Panama, after the previous one was destroyed during a pirate attack. To prevent it from being captured by enemies, the entire site was surrounded with a wall reinforced with powerful bulwarks. 

Casco Antiguo was declared a World Heritage Site, alongside Panama Viejo, by UNESCO in 1997.
