Capital District, Administrative territorial entity in Asunción, Paraguay
The Capital District is an administrative territory that encompasses Asunción and covers a large area. It concentrates government buildings and central facilities that form the backbone of the country's administration.
The territory received its Capital District status in 2011, replacing its previous designation as a department. This change reinforced its central administrative role in Paraguay.
The district contains theaters, museums, and educational centers that reflect both Spanish colonial heritage and Guaraní traditions of Paraguay. Visitors can experience living cultural spaces that show the country's layered identity.
Public transportation links all sections of the district, with major bus terminals near the central administrative areas. Plan time to explore the different zones, as the area is substantial in size.
It is the only purely urban territory among Paraguay's administrative divisions and is governed directly by the federal government. This special status sets it apart from all other regions of the country.
