4Panama Canal Administration Building
The crown jewel of this stop is inside the grand rotunda — a breathtaking series of murals painted by American artist William B. Van Ingen, commissioned for the Canal’s opening in 1914. The four large-scale paintings depict the most dramatic moments of the Canal’s construction: the Culebra Cut, the Gatun Dam, the Miraflores Locks, and the construction of the Pedro Miguel Locks. They are considered among the finest murals in the Americas. The building itself, perched on Ancon Hill and overlooking the Canal, has served as the seat of Canal operations for over a century. The surrounding grounds offer sweeping views of the waterway and the city below.
