Panamá District, Administrative district in Panama City, Panama

Panama District covers 2,031 square kilometers within Panama Province, combining commercial centers, residential neighborhoods, and governmental institutions across the metropolitan region.

The district gained prominence after Pedro Arias Davila established Panama City in 1519, marking the beginning of Spanish colonial administration in the region.

The district incorporates influences from indigenous communities, African descendants, and European settlers, visible in local festivals, music, and traditional celebrations.

The district operates an extensive public transportation system, including metro lines and bus routes, connecting neighborhoods from the financial center to residential areas.

The district houses both the modern financial sector with its glass skyscrapers and the colonial architecture of Casco Viejo within its boundaries.
