Santiago de Veraguas, Provincial capital in Veraguas, Panama
Santiago de Veraguas stands at the center of Panama, acting as a connection point between the eastern and western regions of the country.
The Spanish colonizers established Santiago in 1520, creating a settlement that became instrumental in the administrative organization of central Panama.
The local markets of Santiago display traditional handicrafts and regional produce, reflecting the strong connection between urban and rural communities.
The Pan-American Highway passes through Santiago, providing direct transportation routes to Panama City and other major urban centers within the country.
Santiago maintains extensive rice and corn agricultural fields within its district boundaries, contributing substantially to Panama's domestic food production.
