Panama is a modern cosmopolitan city that embraces its rich history surrounded by breathtaking tropical nature views. The city is located on the Pacific coast just east of the canal. Panama city is famous for its international banking and trade and boasts a skyline of shimmering glass and steel skyscrapers with world-class views of the Bay of Panama.
Some of the most important infrastructures of the city that exemplify the architecture of Panamá’s past, and one that makes way for the future.
Panama Canal, truly a man-made wonder, was built in 1914, includes the Panama Interoceanic Canal Museum, gift shop, restaurant, and an observation deck that offers splendid views of the canal. Casco Viejo- the oldest district of Panama City, a UNESCO world heritage site, a keeper of the city’s traditions and history, characterized by many architectural styles, from Spanish colonial buildings to French and Antillean townhouses, charming narrow streets, colorful buildings, exciting cultural attractions and an array of hotels, restaurants and art galleries that attracts architects, artists, and photographers all over the world.
An example of modern architecture is the outstanding building- Biomuseo designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, his first project in Latin America, that features the ecological history of the country. Its striking feature is its overlapping irregular shapes that stand in stark contrast to Panama City’s colonial buildings. The building sits at the entrance of the Panama Canal offering an excellent view of the Panama City skyline. Other significant structures are El Tornillo, Teatro Nacional, DiabloRosso, and many more.
These amazing infrastructures and vibrant lifestyles make Panama one of the most exciting cities in Latin America. Let’s look at the top 40 Architects in Panama city.
