Panama's Casco Viejo is flouting rules on heritage sites

Panama City’s Casco Viejo, a Unesco World Heritage site, is flouting decrees regulating development in the historic area say critics.

One project, Casa Heurtematte, will have several levels for offices, apartments and a cafeteria. Photographs show that pillars violate constraints placed on projects in the area.

Sebastián Paniza, representative of the International Council of Monuments and Sites, points out that the seabed is state­owned, which would be a violation, reports La Prensa.
