Colón

Built around a Caribbean port and the trans-isthmian corridor, Colón developed into Panama’s Atlantic-facing centre of transport and trade. The province includes the Atlantic entrance to the Panama Canal, while Gatun Lake and the Chagres River shape its inland terrain. Colón city, on the canal’s Caribbean side, has been tied to rail and maritime commerce since the nineteenth century. East along the coast, Portobelo retains Spanish colonial fortifications recognised by UNESCO together with San Lorenzo.
