Areguá, Creative city and administrative district in Central Department, Paraguay
Areguá spreads along the shores of Lake Ypacaraí, featuring colonial buildings and cobblestone streets that lead from a hilltop church to the waterfront.
The settlement began in 1538 when Domingo Martínez de Irala established a community of 200 Mercedarian settlers who developed cattle farming operations in the area.
In 2019, UNESCO designated Areguá as a member of its Creative Cities Network for the local production of traditional pottery and folk art crafts.
The Centro Artesanal de la Cuenca marketplace displays local pottery and crafts, while numerous art galleries exhibit works from regional artists throughout the year.
The Koi Hill contains rare hexagonal sandstone formations, leading to its declaration as a Natural Monument in 1993.
