Avenida A, Finca 366 Casco Viejo, Category III for only $525,000 This 169 meter lot is 3 floors (potential for over 500 meter of construction) About Casco Viejo - Old Town The Old Part,also known as Casco Antiguo or the San Felipe district, is the most colorful part of Panama City. UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site in 1997. It's a city within the city, and one from a different age. It's a great place for a walking tour. You can wander down narrow brick streets, sip an espresso at an outdoor cafe, visit old churches, and gaze up at wrought-iron balconies spilling over with bright tropical plants. It has an unusual blend of architectural styles, most notably ornate Spanish- and French-influenced buildings. Casco Viejo has always had a romantic look, but for decades the romance has been of the tropical-decadence, paint-peeling-from-rotting-walls variety. Now, though, it's in the midst of a tasteful and large-scale restoration that's giving the cafe are opening. Amazingly, this is being done with careful attention to keeping the old charm of the place alive. In some places the district now resembles the French Quarter of New Orleans. It also looks very much like a smaller Cartagena.
