Young people from Colón have transformed Fort San Lorenzo into a living history stage, bringing the fort’s 18th‑century past to life for visitors. The event, held on October 24, 2026, was part of a cultural initiative to preserve Panama’s heritage and was featured in the entertainment section “Your Morning Smile” of Panama Newsroom. Fort San Lorenzo, located on the Caribbean coast in the city of Colón, has long been a symbol of the region’s colonial history. In this latest project, local youth worked with historians and actors to stage reenactments of key moments from the fort’s past, turning the historic site into an interactive educational venue. The event was covered by Panama Newsroom, which also encouraged readers to send jokes and humorous anecdotes to PanamaNewsroom@gmail.com. The initiative is part of a broader effort to engage the community with the country’s cultural landmarks.
