The remnants of El Castillo de San Lorenzo and Portobelo once stood as pivotal defensive structures of San Lorenzo at the entrance of the Chagres River and the dual fortifications of Portobelo, silently and vividly recounting the prosperity of Panama during that period. The sites, now recognized as World Heritage by UNESCO, were constructed to safeguard the transport of gold and silver from city to city, as well as across oceans. They withstood numerous assaults and bore witness to the violent Caribbean wars against the Spaniards, involving buccaneers, mercenaries, corsairs, privateers, and pirates. It’s important to acknowledge the bravery and contributions of the enslaved people, the Cimarrons, who paved the way for their fellows’ freedom and shaped the future and cultural heritage for successive generations.
