Iglesia y Convento de las Monjas de la Concepción

The convent remains include stone walls and foundations spanning two blocks, with remnants of the original colonial Spanish architecture still visible.

Founded on February 10, 1597, the convent experienced substantial damage during the 1621 earthquake and remained incomplete when Morgan captured the city.

The convent served as both a religious center and an educational institution for young women during the Spanish colonial period in Panama.

The archaeological site integrates with the broader Panama Viejo complex, offering visitors comprehensive insights into colonial religious architecture.

The convent ruins maintain their original floor plan layout, revealing the spatial organization of religious life in colonial Panama.
