Cradle of National Folklore! This is the head of the district and capital of the Los Santos province Las Tablas is surrounded in beauty with lush agricultural land and to the south some of the nicest beaches in all of Panama.
Las Tablas became the capital of the province when the old Azuero province became two “Herrera” and “Los Santos” in 1915. Much has been said of the famous Carnival that takes place here but when the festivities die down with the passing of Carnival the community becomes the quiet, peaceful town.
After the burning and sacking of old Panama by the pirate “Henry Morgan” some of the people fled in ships and arrived in the province of Los Santos at the place to be known as Las Tablas or in English “the Boards”, because they dismantled the ship and used the boards to build the first church called the “Santa Libertad” or the “Holy Freedom” church.
Santa Libertad Church
It is one of the oldest churches in the country. The records are unclear as to the correct date of the church but some historians state that the construction started in 1671 and ended in 1725. It is now declared a national monument because it dates back to the Spanish colonial days.
