Casco Viejo (Spanish for Old Quarter) also known as Casco Antiguo or San Felipe is the historic district of Panama City. Completed and settled in 1673 it was built following the near-total destruction of the original Panamá city Panamá Viejo in 1671 when the latter was attacked by pirates. It was designated a World Heritage Site in 1997.
