Iglesia del Carmen, Gothic church in Panama City, Panama.
The Iglesia del Carmen displays twin towers and high pointed arches, reflecting medieval architectural influence throughout its detailed exterior and interior design.
Construction of the church began on July 7, 1947, with its formal consecration taking place on July 16, 1953, under the guidance of Carmelite congregation.
The church honors Our Lady of Mount Carmel through religious ceremonies, daily masses, and annual festivals that unite the Catholic community of Panama City.
Located in central Panama City, the church welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 1 PM to 5 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM to noon.
Spanish artist Mario de Ayala renovated the interior artwork in 1986, replacing the original altarpiece that had deteriorated due to termite damage.
