Fort Clayton, Military fort in Arraijan, Panama
Fort Clayton features military structures positioned along the Panama Canal, with buildings adapted to the regional tropical environment and defense requirements.
The United States Army established Fort Clayton in 1920 to safeguard the Panama Canal, naming it after Colonel Bertram T. Clayton who died in World War I.
The fort demonstrates the extended American military presence in Panama through its architecture, layout, and integration with local infrastructure.
The former military installation now houses Ciudad del Saber, a knowledge center with educational institutions, technology companies, and research facilities.
The transfer of Fort Clayton to Panama in 1999 marked a pivotal transformation from a military base into an educational and technological development hub.
