Abstract


The author discusses the relocation of Panamá City to its current site, as well as the morphological characteristics that made it both a fortress and a market place. In its new location, the city continued to play to role of the sea port and commercial center that it played before by being a key stop in the silver route and house of trade of the Americas; but the new city was surrounded by the wall, and built according to a plan that is the perfect example of the classic colonial city in Spanish America.
