Martyrs' Day (Panama)
Martyrs' Day is a Panamanian holiday which commemorates the January 9, 1964 riots over sovereignty of the Panama Canal Zone. The riot started after a Panamanian flag was torn during conflict between Panamanian students and Canal Zone Police officers, over the right of the Panamanian flag to be flown alongside the U.S. flag. U.S. Army units became involved in suppressing the violence after Canal Zone police were overwhelmed, and after three days of fighting, about 21 Panamanians and four U.S.

Fort Sherman was the corresponding base on the Atlantic (northern) side.
Ancon Hill
Ancon Hill is a steep 654-foot hill which overlooks Panama City, Panama adjacent to the township of Ancón.

As a result, it became a kind of an "island" of jungle in an urban area, where wildlife still survives cut off from other jungle areas.

The Palacio de las Garzas (Herons' Palace) is the governmental office and residence of the President of Panama. It receives its name because of herons roamming freely in the courtyard. The herons were first brought to the building in 1922 by former president Belisario Porras, at the suggestion of friend and famed Panamanian poet Ricardo Miro.
