About El Cabildo Cultural Center

The El Cabildo Cultural Center of the Republic is one of Asunción's most comprehensive and accessible cultural spaces. It operates in the historic building of the old Town Hall (Cabildo), one of the most recognizable architectural landmarks of the Paraguayan capital's historic center. Managed as the cultural extension of the National Congress of Paraguay, the Cabildo aims to democratize access to culture and strengthen Paraguayan identities. Its museum offerings are extraordinarily varied: it features the Clay Hall (dedicated to indigenous ceramics), the Sacred Art Hall (with colonial and religious pieces), the Guido Boggiani Hall (art and photography of indigenous communities), the Music Hall, the Paraguayan Cinema Hall, and a library that once belonged to writer Augusto Roa Bastos. It also hosts temporary exhibitions of contemporary Paraguayan artists. For the foreign visitor, the Cabildo is an essential cultural journey: in a single building, you can grasp the ethnic, artistic and historical diversity of Paraguay. Admission is free.
