Casco Viejo
Plaza Francia is located in the Casco Viejo district of Panama City. Originally the main square of the walled city, it is dedicated to the French effort to build the Panama Canal and the thousands of people who died during the construction process. The plaza is marked by an obelisk. In the surrounding trees, the city’s vocal bird population makes their presence heard.
