About Las Mercedes
What are the main landmarks in Las Mercedes?
Two entries carry this barrio. Mburuvicha Róga is one, and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Asunción the other, a national collection filed to a residential quarter of the city rather than to a museum district. Both stand within Las Mercedes itself.
Past those two names, the record runs dry.
What is the history of Las Mercedes?
The barrio carries no charter date. What the record holds instead is a pair of institutions, Mburuvicha Róga and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Asunción, which tie Las Mercedes to the civic life of the city rather than to a dated founding. The entry is short.
Everything documented about Las Mercedes runs through Asunción, and the barrio's own line in the record amounts to its name, its place in Paraguay and the two buildings it keeps.
Where is Las Mercedes?
