Manzana de la Rivera
A complex of nine historic buildings opposite the Palacio de los López, converted into a cultural center with a city memory museum and exhibitions. Admission is free.
Manzana de la Rivera is an entire block directly opposite the Palacio de los López. It preserves nine colonial and neoclassical residences dating from the 18th to early 20th centuries. The oldest, Casa Viola, was built around 1750. The municipal government restored the block as a cultural center in the 1990s. It houses the Asunción City Memory Museum, which displays old photographs and maps of the city, along with a library, art galleries and a small theater. Concerts and workshops are often held in the courtyard. Entry is free, and the café terrace faces the Palacio de los López directly.
