    Where to start? I had JESÚS as my guide (I am putting it in capital letters because you really need to ask to have him as your guide) and not only he has super deep knowledge of the history if Paraguay but he is also passionate about it and you can see it in his eyes. He answered every single question I asked and he increased my knowledge of Paraguay history by 10x. Definetly having him as my guide meant that I really enjoyed touring around the museum. Thank you Jesús!

    It was small place to see all. But we spent rich time there even it took less than 30 minutes. You can see Paraguayan independence history and precious exhibits. We felt their patriotism and passion. If you go to downtown, centoro, it’s worth to visit.

  • 5/5 James 2 months ago on Google New
    A well-preserved house where Paraguay's fight for independence started.Today, it’s a museum dispensing history of Paraguayan independence. The house once belonged to a wealthy family, consisting of 5 rooms and a large hall with a patio in the center. One can view where the desk and the oratory is located, the bedroom, the dining room, and portraits of famous heroes of Independence. Other artifacts include period documents, utensils, and original furniture from the early 1800s.
