Colon's Christ Church by the Sea, built for an original congregation largely composed of Americans working for the railroad and Britons in the shipping business, is the oldest standing Protestant church on the Meso-American mainland and the second oldest in all of Latin America. These days its congregation is largely composed of Panamanians of West Indian descent.
It's still one of Colon's most noteworthy landmarks
The view toward the south, where the altar is
On the northern end there is this cracked painted glass window
Some of the stained glass work is intricate, beautiful and well preserved
A different image from a different culture
And in the tower, the bells still work
