Looking down the East side of the point, one has a good view of the French embassy, and several other French and Panamanian governmental buildings as well as some art galleries and a few of the better restaurants. There is a park down the steps to the left where are located some dungeons that are said to have housed many things over time, including the lower ones being used for prisoners who were left to drown during high tides. The truth of this is not well established, but its a good yarn.
