Deputy seeks to protect Bella Vista’s cultural heritage

The independent deputy Gabriel Silva has presented a bill to protect the historic buildings of the Bella Vista township considered a cultural heritage.

“Bellavista architecture has been in Panama for decades. It is quite historical. And they are buildings that we have seen that have many windows, many doors, many balconies, and without a doubt, they represent historical and important moments for Panama”, he said.

He added that the project seeks to create a cultural heritage specifically for these areas, considering the high real estate development that Bella Vista is registering.

In recent years, the public has seen that many of the houses and small buildings in the La Exposición neighborhood in Bella Vista have been demolished to make way for new and modern structures.
