Masonic Temple

The Masonic Temple is a building with grand columns and ceremonial halls located in central Asunción, designed for Masonic gatherings and rituals. The interior spaces feature elaborate architectural details and decorations that support the organizational and ceremonial functions of the fraternity.

The building was constructed in 1899, marking a turning point for Paraguayan Freemasonry as it established a dedicated permanent gathering space. This construction reflected the organization's growing strength and influence during that period.

The temple remains an active gathering place where Masonic symbols decorate the halls and walls, serving as visual markers of the fraternity's ongoing traditions. Visitors can observe how these emblems and architectural details reflect practices that continue to shape the community that uses this space.

The temple offers guided visits where you can walk through the main rooms and learn about the symbols used throughout the building. It is best to check beforehand about availability, as access may be limited due to private events or ceremonies.

The building regularly hosts film productions and serves as a venue for events beyond Masonic ceremonies, making it a working space with diverse uses. This variety of functions has helped maintain the building and made it more accessible to the broader public.
