Asunción's Sacred Sites

Asunción's religious landscape features a blend of historic colonial architecture and modern spiritual centers. Key landmarks include the mid-19th-century Metropolitan Cathedral, known for its silver-plated high altar, and the unpainted brickwork of the Romano-Corinthian Church of the Incarnation. The city also hosts the landmark Asunción Paraguay Temple, German evangelical congregations, and neighborhood oratories like the one in San Jerónimo. These sites offer insight into the city's Catholic heritage alongside its growing Protestant and LDS communities.
