Panama City :Sonargaon's  Lok Shilpa Jadughar;was a part of Isa Khan's capital. The Panama city was the centre of the upper- middleclass people of 19th century Sonargaon. It is now in ruins . Mainly Hindu cloth merchants lived here .
         
It takes only five minute to go panama city from Folk Art and Craft Museum. When Mughal's conquered the Sonargaon in 1611AD, the panama city was  linked with the main city area by 3 important bridges. Panama still have these three bridges. After the Indo-Pak  war in 1965 and when the muslim-hindu riot  started, Panama city has reduced into a vacant community.
