Casco Antiguo, or "Old Quarter," is the "Old Town" of Panama City, Panama, the historic downtown core. It is not to be confused with Panamá Viejo, the really old "Old Town," the ruins of an indigenous settlement that pre-dated the arrival of the Spanish by a long time.
Today's "Phot-o' the Day" is Plaza Simon Bolivar, with the historic San Francisco de Asis Church in the background (left) of the statue at the center of the Plaza. Every city in Latin America has a Plaza Simon Bolivar and every city in Latin America has a San Francisco de Asis church, usually in close proximity. Usually close enough to get both in a single photo frame.
Visited November 2013.
