Statue of Carlos V Old Town Panama City. Charles V was ruler of both the Holy Roman Empire from 1519 and the Spanish Empire from 1516, as well as of the lands of the former Duchy of Burgundy from 1506. He stepped down from these and other positions by a series of abdications between 1554 and 1556. Panama City, the capital of Panama, is a modern city framed by the Pacific Ocean and man-made Panama Canal.

The Miraflores Locks offers views of ships traversing the canal, an essential shipping route linking the Atlantic and Pacific
