Plaza de Francia

Plaza de Francia, located along the waterfront of Panama City’s UNESCO-listed Casco Viejo (Old Quarter), was built to honor the French workers who lost their lives during the construction of the Panama Canal. The plaza, an important meeting place, features a striking 60-foot (18-meter) obelisk that serves as a poignant tribute to these workers. Today, visitors can explore this historic square, taking in the solemn monument and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the surrounding area.
