Description
We visited Panama in 2002 and took a tour out to Portobelo, a port city in Col�³n Province, Panama. Portobelo has a deep natural harbor and had a large fort, built to protect the beautiful bay, city and itâ��s silver mining operation. The only reference that I could find, for when it was built, was that it existed in 1668 when Captain Henry Morgan captured the city, with a fleet of privateers and 450 men.
Next to the fort, is a large white church, Iglesia de San Felipe, which was still in use. it dates from 1814. It�s famous as the home of the life-sized effigy of the Nazareno of Portobelo, depicting a black Christ carrying the cross. Today, Portobelo is a sleepy city with a population of fewer than 3,000. Taken with my old Pentax and later scanned.
