Jesuit Missions of La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná and Jesús de Tavarangue
The Jesuits were granted the frontier zone of Paraguay from the Spanish Crown in 1609 and they built 30 reducciones or settlements in the area, charged with converting and educating the native Indians and protecting them from the abuses of colonial forces. La Santísima Trinidad was the capital of the Guayra area and the most ambitious of the settlements, constructed in 1706 with a fine dome and elaborate decoration which demonstrates the fusion of European and indigenous influences.
