Hiking

La Catedral Metropolitana or Catedral de Panamá, is one of the largest churches in Central America. Construction was thought to have begun in 1668. The Baroque architecture style is represented in this structure. It was completed in 1796 and in 2003 underwent a massive restoration project. Today it overlooks the Plaza Catedral (Plaza de la Independencia) and is one of the main areas in the historic district Casco Viejo.

The glass coffins on the sides seem a bit morbid to me, but the rest of the cathedral impressed me positively. Beautiful interior with little advertising for the parish. A pleasant stay.
