Itauguá, Administrative district in Central Department, Paraguay.
Itauguá is an administrative district in Central Department located roughly 30 kilometers from Asunción, comprising several neighborhoods such as Aldama, Cañada Potrero, and Virgen de Guadalupe. The area sits at about 170 meters elevation and maintains multiple water supply systems for residents.
Governor Martín de Barúa founded the settlement on June 27, 1728, establishing organized communities in this part of Central Department. This founding moment initiated a new phase of regional development and growth.
The town is known for ñandutí production, a delicate lacework resembling spider webs that local artisans create by hand. This craft tradition remains central to the community's identity and daily economic life.
The district is accessible from Asunción by car and works well as a half-day outing. Visitors can explore workshops where artisans create and sell their lacework pieces directly.
The San Rafael Museum holds objects from the Colonial period, providing insight into daily life and material culture from the era of Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia. These pieces tell stories of several generations living through that historical moment.
