San Cosme y Damián, Administrative district in Itapúa, Paraguay
The district spans 800 square kilometers along the Paraná River, featuring agricultural fields, forests, and small settlements across its territory.
The Jesuits established this settlement in 1632, relocating multiple times before permanently settling on the north bank of the Paraná River in 1718.
Father Buenaventura Suárez established an observatory in the 18th century, constructing astronomical instruments with Guaraní people and publishing scientific observations in Europe.
The district connects to Route 1 Mcal Francisco Solano López through a 25-kilometer paved road, enabling transportation to Ayolas, Coronel Bogado, and Asunción.
The local church houses 22 wooden religious sculptures and maintains its original stone elements from the Jesuit-Guaraní period.
