Silently and vividly, one can envision the wealth that Panama enjoyed during that time. These UNESCO World Heritage sites were constructed to ensure the secure transfer of gold and silver between cities and across oceans. They faced numerous assaults and bore witness to the bloody conflicts in the Caribbean, where buccaneers, mercenaries, corsairs, privateers, and pirates battled against the Spaniards. It is important to acknowledge the bravery and contributions of the enslaved individuals, the Cimarrons, who fought for freedom for their comrades and significantly influenced the future and culture for countless generations.
