It was designed by the military engineer Nicolás Rodríguez.[5] The archcathedral is the episcopal see of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Panama.The Metropolitan Archcathedral of Panama is heir to the cathedral erected by Pope Adrian VI in the great house of Cacique Cémaco, when the Spanish confronted him and offered to found a town dedicated to Saint Mary of la Antigua, in 1510. In 1513 it was dictates the bull by which La Antigua is elevated to the rank of diocese, and its church to the rank of cathedral, being its first bishop Friar Juan de Quevedo.After Santa María la Antigua del Darién was abandoned by order of Pedro Arias Dávila, who in 1519 had founded Panama on the shores of the South Sea, the cathedral of the new town inherited the transfer of insignia, bulls and relics from la Antigua del Darién. After Henry Morgan had sacked Panama in 1671,[4] the city was transferred to the current Casco Antiguo of Panama City in 1673 and with this transfer the erection of a new cathedral was arranged, whose construction took 108 years, that is, from 1688 to 1796.[4]During the Republican era, the cathedral was the setting for the funeral obsequies of the presidents of the republic, countless weddings and religious acts.
