Directions
The Parish of San Felipe de Neri, listed in Ancón, is a small Catholic church on Avenida 8 Sur in Panama City’s old quarter. Dedicated to Saint Philip Neri, it reflects the Catholic heritage visible throughout the historic district. Its neoclassical architecture and carefully decorated interior reward a closer look: ornate mosaics and detailed religious statues are among its most striking features. Stone slabs in the main aisle resemble tombstones, although the available information does not establish whether they mark burials. Visitors describe the building as old but well cared for, with a traditional atmosphere. Just across from the much larger Saint Francis of Assisi Church, it offers a contrasting, more intimate space for appreciating the area’s religious art and architecture.
