Museo de Sitio Panamá Viejo

In the original settlement of Panamá Viejo, this museum traces the history from pre-colonial times to colonial life. There's an impressive scale model of Panamá Viejo prior to 1671 as well as religious art, and exhibits on old maps and on pirate history. An optional extra is climbing Mirador de la Torre, the lookout tower; children under eight are not allowed.
