PANAMA, EXPLORING the amazing GOLDEN ALTAR of IGLESIA SAN JOSE at CASCO VIEJO ⛪
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit the massive Golden Altar (or Altar de Oro) of Iglesia San Jose in the beautiful city pf Panama City, Panama in Central America. The towering structure isn’t actually solid gold–it’s carved mahogany that has been covered in gold leaf. But it looks every bit as opulent as you’d think.
But perhaps the most remarkable thing about it is the story about why it’s still around to see. It survived the pirate Henry Morgan’s sacking of Panama Viejo in 1671. Legend has it that a priest disguised it by painting it black and then convinced Morgan that it had already been stolen. When the coast was clear, and after Panama Viejo was abandoned in the wake of Morgan’s raid, the altar was later moved to its present location in Iglesia San Jose, one of Casco Viejo’s many churches. Today, Iglesia San Jose (Church of San Joseph) is surrounded, like most of Casco Viejo, by a mix of crumbling ruins and beautifully renovated buildings.
Iglesia San Jose dates to 1673 and features a series of heavy, ornate altar pieces lining its walls and alcoves. But despite the draw of the Golden Altar, the church hasn’t been restored to the extent of some of the others, something you’ll quickly notice when you feel the oppressive heat and humidity inside.
Panama is a country on the isthmus linking Central and South America. The Panama Canal, a famous feat of human engineering, cuts through its center, linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to create an essential shipping route. In the capital, Panama City, modern skyscrapers, casinos and nightclubs contrast with colonial buildings in the Casco Viejo district and the rainforest of Natural Metropolitan Park.

Panama City, Panama - Church of San José HD (2014)
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.

San Jose Church -
Ambitions and dreams of a famous pirate preserved a historic treasure for future generations to appreciate. The Inglesia de San Jose, the Church of San Jose is a small almost nondescript building on a narrow street in the San Felipe district of Panama City. Built soon after the first Spanish settlement in the 16th century, this small Catholic church features the famous Golden Altar (Altar de Oro), which is made entirely of pure gold.
