EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cathedral of Santo Tomas Apóstol, located in the heart of Panama City, is the oldest building in Panama and a significant historical landmark. Constructed between 1573 and 1675, this magnificent edifice is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Panama and its deep-rooted history of worship. The Cathedral, which was originally built as a chapel in 1519, has undergone numerous renovations and expansions over the centuries. The current structure, which is a blend of Renaissance and Baroque architectural styles, is a sight to behold. Its intricately carved wooden doors, ornate altars, and stunning stained glass windows are just a few of the many features that make this cathedral a must-visit destination for history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and spiritual pilgrims alike. The Cathedral of Santo Tomas Apóstol has played a pivotal role in the religious and social life of Panama for over five centuries. It has witnessed numerous historical events, including the arrival of the first Spanish settlers, the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1763, and the proclamation of Panama's independence from Spain in 1821. Today, the Cathedral continues to be an active place of worship, drawing thousands of visitors each year. As you step inside, you are transported back in time, surrounded by the solemnity and serenity of the space. The Cathedral's peaceful ambiance, combined with its rich history and architectural beauty, makes it a truly unique and unforgettable experience. This photograph, taken in 1910, captures the timeless elegance of the Cathedral of Santo Tomas Apóstol, a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the importance of preserving our historical and cultural heritage.
