A place of worship for some, Church of Saint Barbara is worth checking out, irrespective of your spiritual beliefs. Find out if this holy sanctuary is open to visitors for the perfect pause from your exhausting sightseeing itinerary.

This house of prayer is often on the itineraries of visitors to Zona Colonial. But Church of Saint Barbara isn't the only drawcard here. Centro Olimpico, Columbus Park, and Colon Lighthouse and Museum are some other recommended attractions nearby.

8.8/10 Excellent! (234 reviews)

A unique, attractive, boutique-like facility with lots of attention paid to detail appearance. Very nice, stylish rooms. Excellent very helpful staff (limited English speaking). Somewhat “strange” partnership with neighboring facility where connecting ponds water features are located (a fair walk, especially the return uphill). Fairly isolated and difficult to get to with very limited activities.

The overall property and service was incredible. I felt welcomed the culture and heritage was shown in every aspect. The food took some getting use to (cultural differences). Recommend for a week trip with family. Also recommend doing local excursions.
