The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Asuncion, Paraguay
The "Mother of Cities" was founded in 1537, and declared independence from Spain in 1811. The charming historic section can be explored on foot. The friendly Paraguayan capital, gateway to the grassy Gran Chaco region, has long been a center of music, poetry and the arts, but only in recent years has Asunción been able to escape its long history of dictatorship rule. Sites to visit include Panteon Nacional de los Heroes, Casa de la Independencia and Catedral de Nuestra Senora de Asuncion.

Nice little house displayed the declaration of independence of Paraguay, and history of it. You will learn a lot in this little casa. It's right in the heart of the old town near the tourist information center. Free admissions.

This is one of the most beautiful buildings in Asuncion. A classic building that is in great condition unlike many of the buildings in the old downtown. Right on the park, it is a great addition to the city.

The Government Palace is a stunning piece of architecture and is worth viewing from front and back. The guards can get a bit funny if you get too close but otherwise it is worth a visit
