Cities Destroyed Hundreds Morgan Nineteen Panama Ruin Years

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the haunting beauty of the Ruins of Old Panama, a testament to the rich history and complex past of this vibrant Central American city. The image reveals the remnants of the once grand colonial structures, now reduced to rubble and ruins, lying in the shadows of the lush tropical foliage that has reclaimed the land. The Ruins of Old Panama were the site of the first European settlement in the Pacific, established in 1519 by the Spanish conquistador, Pedro Arias de Avila. However, their history is not without conflict. In 1671, the city was sacked and destroyed by the English pirate, Sir Henry Morgan, leaving behind a devastated landscape. The ruins that remain today date back to the late 17th and early 18th centuries, when the city was rebuilt. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era long gone. The image is a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the enduring power of nature to reclaim what was once built by human hands. The Ruins of Old Panama stand as a symbol of the complex history of Panama, a city that has weathered the test of time and continues to thrive as a modern and vibrant metropolis. This photograph, from the Mary Evans collection, is a valuable historical document, offering a unique perspective on the past and the rich heritage of Panama. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving history and the role that photographs play in capturing and sharing the stories of the past for future generations to learn from and be inspired by.
