Villeta

Villeta, Administrative district in Central Department, Paraguay

Villeta is a district in Central Department that stretches along the Paraguay River and includes residential areas alongside a port facility and industrial zones. The port handles river transport and serves as a connection point for goods movement.

The settlement was founded in 1714 and developed over time into an important river port. This role as a transport hub shaped its growth and remains central to its purpose.

The Church of Nuestra Señora del Rosario displays murals by artist Adán Kunos showing local religious traditions from the 1800s. These artworks shape how the place looks and feels for visitors today.

The best time to visit is during the dry season when water levels are lower and port activities are clearly visible. The place is accessible by road or boat and offers basic accommodation for visitors.

The country's first telegraph station was installed here in 1864, making it a pioneering hub for communications technology. This technical legacy remains an important part of the local story.
