History

Casa del Sol, a residence steeped in history and architectural significance, was originally constructed in the early 20th century by the renowned architect Alvaro Villanueva Mayer, the same visionary behind the remodeling of the Presidential Palace. The home’s architectural details echo the grandeur of the Presidential Palace, reflecting a period of elegance and prestige. For many years, this distinguished property was owned by Enrique Jiménez, a former President of Panama, further enriching its historical value.

In the late 20th century, Casa del Sol underwent a meticulous restoration under the guidance of architect Álvaro Cambefort. This renovation preserved the integrity and charm of the original design, including the stunning mahogany staircase and the iconic exterior facades. Today, Casa del Sol stands as a perfect blend of historic beauty and modern luxury, offering a unique living experience in the heart of Casco Viejo.
