Nestled in the heart of Panama City, the Presidential Palace (Palacio de las Garzas) stands as a symbol of the country’s rich history and governance. The palace, named after the herons that roam freely in its Andalucian-style courtyard, received these African birds as a gift to commemorate the completion of renovations in 1922. The President of Panama resides on the upper floors of this stately building, which combines historical significance with modern functionality. Visitors can observe the elegant herons in the courtyard, adding a touch of natural beauty to the architectural grandeur.
