Historical Building Types:
Churches
With its beautifully contrasting gray-and-black facade and white bell towers, this building is an excellent example of Latin American neoclassical architecture. The cathedral was first constructed in 1688, soon after Panama City's refounding. Many of the stones were taken directly from the ruined old city. The towers are inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The vast, imposing arches inside lack the aesthetic skill of the exterior, but the walls are richly decorated with gorgeous paintings. Not to be missed.
