Itauguá, Administrative district in Central Department, Paraguay.

Located 30 kilometers from Asunción, Itauguá spans across varied terrain at an elevation of 170 meters above sea level.

Governor Martín de Barúa established Itauguá on June 27, 1728, marking the beginning of structured settlement in this part of Central Department.

Local artisans produce ñandutí, a traditional spider web-like lacework that has earned Itauguá recognition as the center of this craft.

The district contains multiple neighborhoods including Aldama, Cañada Potrero, and Virgen de Guadalupe, with access to drinking water systems.

The San Rafael Museum displays artifacts from the Colonial Age, preserving items from the era of Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia.
