Je l'ai déjà été !Explora el fascinante pasado de Panama City y descubre cómo se ha desarrollado a lo largo de los siglos.
The region where Panama City is located was originally inhabited by indigenous Amerindian people before the arrival of the Spanish. It was officially founded on August 15, 1519 by Pedro Arias Dávila, becoming a strategic point for the exploration and conquest of America due to its location near the isthmus that connects two oceans.
During the colonial era and the Modern Age, the city grew as an important port and commercial center, especially for its role in the gold and silver transportation route to Panama. It was attacked and destroyed on several occasions by pirates, leading to its reconstruction in a safer location. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the city experienced significant urban growth, driven by the construction of the Panama Canal and the arrival of immigrants from various parts of the world.
In the 20th and 21st centuries, Panama City has established itself as a global financial and logistics center, with accelerated urban development marked by the construction of skyscrapers and modernization of infrastructure. Recent events include the expansion of the Panama Canal and the promotion of the city as a technological and tourist hub in Latin America, maintaining its geopolitical and economic relevance worldwide.
