"Panama Viejo" (Old Panama City)

Don't confuse "Panama Viejo" with "Casco Viejo". Old Panama is a historic site made up of ruins of the original settlement here. The old city was set on fire by its own citizens to fool the famous pirate, Captain Henry Morgan (yep, the rum guy) when he attacked. It was never rebuilt, and they resettled in what is now called "El Casco Viejo".
