Casco Viejo at Dusk

Casco Viejo at Dusk

UNESCO colonial quarter. 17th-century churches and mansions being restored building by building. Plaza de la Independencia is where Panama declared independence from Colombia in 1903. Donde Jose on Calle 11 is the tasting-menu restaurant that put Casco on the culinary map. Walk at dusk when restoration stops, fairy lights come on, and the plazas fill with music.
