Asunción, Capital city on Paraguay River, Paraguay.
The city spans across the eastern bank of the Paraguay River with numerous government buildings, commercial centers, and residential neighborhoods covering 117 square kilometers.
Founded on August 15, 1537, Asunción served as a base for Spanish colonial expeditions, leading to the establishment of other important South American cities.
The National Pantheon of Heroes contains memorials and remains of national figures, while the Metropolitan Cathedral represents religious architectural elements from the 1800s.
The international airport, Silvio Pettirossi, connects the city with major South American destinations through regular flights from multiple carriers.
The city maintains two official languages, Spanish and Guarani, reflected in street signs, official documents, and daily communications throughout the metropolitan area.
