Tiger's Hand Bastion (Mano de Tigre)
This crumbling ruin is one of the last remaining sections of Panama's 17th-century fortifications. As a historical site, it's not particularly impressive. As of July 2008, a homeless man was living on the only rampart. Historically or military-minded people will enjoy seeing how the old walls and moats were laid out. The neighborhood around is home to some of Casco Viejo's loveliest houses.
