Abstract
The fortifications are the most known structures of Portobello. In contrast, there are several buildings not well known, like the customs house, the church of San Felipe, as well as colonial houses and bridges that belong to the rich, immovable heritage of the city. In addition, we must not forget other examples of intangible heritage like devotion manifestations linked to the Cristo Negro that are part of the popular identity. Also, the bay’s water and the nature’s wealth are examples of one of the most important natural heritages of Panama. All this compels us to understand Portobello as a cultural landscape. The city needs some interventions to increase the value of its cultural, intangible and natural heritage, in order to create a tourism product. The sustainable management of these resources are necessary to support the local development.
