Antiguo Club Union

This ruin was once an elegant neoclassical building. It was constructed in 1917 as the posh Union Club. It was later transformed into an officer's club for the Panamanian army. Apparently, it was General Noriega's favorite hangout. This earned it the wrath of the US Army during the 1989 invasion, leaving the place a burnt out shell. Today, the ruins offer one of the best photography spots in Panama. Knock loudly on the doors – if you ask nicely and smile, the guard will let you in to see the place and take pictures.
