Iglesia del Carmen

Iglesia del Carmen is a church in central Panama City featuring Gothic elements such as pointed arches and twin towers. The interior contains religious artwork and is organized around a main altar and nave in traditional church layout.

Construction of the church began in the late 1940s under Carmelite leadership and was formally dedicated in the early 1950s. The building emerged during a period of growth and religious development in Panama City.

The church is dedicated to the Carmelite tradition and draws people daily for worship and religious observances. The community gathers here for celebrations and ceremonies that mark important moments in their spiritual lives.

The church is located in downtown Panama City and is open on weekdays and Saturday mornings. Visitors should be aware that access times may vary based on religious services and ceremonies taking place.

The interior underwent a major artistic renovation in the 1980s that replaced deteriorated original artwork with new religious pieces. This restoration gave the space a refreshed appearance while honoring its spiritual purpose.
