Summary
A leisurely 5-minute walk from Homega Rentals brings you to Plaza Bolívar, a charming square that pays homage to the liberator Simón Bolívar. At the center of the plaza stands an impressive bronze statue of Bolívar, mounted on horseback, symbolizing his pivotal role in Latin America's fight for independence. The plaza is surrounded by a collection of well-preserved colonial buildings, many of which have been repurposed into cafes, restaurants, and boutique hotels, creating a vibrant and inviting atmosphere.
One of the architectural highlights bordering the plaza is the Church of San Francisco de Asís, renowned for its striking white facade and elegant bell tower. The church's interior boasts beautiful stained-glass windows and a serene ambiance, making it a favorite spot for both worshippers and visitors. Adjacent to the church is the National Theater (Teatro Nacional), a testament to Panama's rich cultural heritage, offering a glimpse into the country's artistic endeavors.
The plaza itself is adorned with lush greenery and ample seating, providing an ideal setting for relaxation and people-watching.
