When traveling to Panama, you can visit a historical and enchanted place for its beauty as is the Casco Antiguo; this place is an old but lovely city and there you will be able to visit different places that have great historic value as does El Arco Chato.
El Arco Chato is an architectural colony that was built in 1678, this monument, whose original altitude was 35 by 50 feet long, was torn down on November 7th 2003, due to the time of existence; but today it has been rebuilt in the same place.
This historic monument served as an argument for the construction of the Canal Interoceanico, since it has been proven that Panama was a place where the architecture did not suffer damages from earthquakes; and this is why the Arco Chato, is renowned worldwide.
