Walking around the city on Central Ave on our way to get some fruits and veggies, we decided to stroll into the Basilica Menor of Don Bosco to get a better view.
Panama is a very Catholic country, with some 80 percent of its inhabitants adhering to that branch of the Christian faith. Since the early days of the Spanish colonization of the country at the turn of the 16th century, Panama has enjoyed the construction of churches with gorgeous architectural styles.
Below are several pictures of the most visited church in Panama City—the BasÃlica Menor of Don Bosco. During January 31st of each year, this Italian saint attracts approximately 25,000 parishioners for a special procession held through adjacent streets of the church. It’s the envy of Panamanian politicians.
