Itá, Historic colonial settlement in Central Department, Paraguay
The city of Itá extends across the southern flank of Cordillera de los Altos, near a headstream of the Tebicuary River at 101 meters elevation.
Founded in 1539 by Governor Domingo Martínez de Irala, Itá developed from a fort settlement into a significant Jesuit missionary center during the colonial period.
The San Blas Craft Center displays traditional Guaraní-Hispanic ceramics and pottery, reflecting the enduring artistic heritage of local artisans through generations.
Located 37 kilometers from Asunción via Route I Mariscal Francisco Solano López, Itá maintains active industries in rum production, leather processing, and agricultural goods.
The formation of Itá Lagoon stems from a wartime incident when an elderly resident denied water to soldiers, according to local historical accounts.
