Directions
Saint Francis of Assisi Church stands in Panama City’s historic Casco Viejo, where buildings have been altered and rebuilt over generations. The church’s present appearance does not closely reflect its original design, making it a reminder that the neighborhood’s history is layered rather than frozen in time. For visitors coming from Ancón, it is also a place to encounter the quarter’s continuing religious life: people still come here for Mass and prayer. Its striking exterior and tower make it a recognizable landmark, while the interior offers a cool, quiet space away from the streets. An upstairs art display brings older and contemporary works together, and the tower offers wide views across the surrounding city.
Before you enter
- Check current access hours before setting out; published opening hours are unavailable.
- Allow extra time if you want to climb the tower as well as see the church.
- Dress respectfully: this is an active place of worship.
What to expect
- The exterior is a highlight; the interior is comparatively modest.
- The church offers a cool, quiet break from walking around Casco Viejo.
- Look for the small art display upstairs and city views from the tower.
During your visit
- Keep your voice low, especially if people are praying or Mass is underway.
- Ask on-site staff whether the tower is open before heading upstairs.
- Take care on the tower stairs and leave time to enjoy the view.
