Om
Hurtige fakta: Tre forskellige versioner af Paraguays uafhængighedserklæring er gemt herinde, herunder én der blev smuglet ud af landet i en tjenestepiges nederdel. Væggene indeholder originale fresker fra 1700-tallet, som først blev opdaget i 2017, da renoveringshold skrællede lag af puds væk.
Højdepunkter: En hemmelig tunnel forbandt engang dette hus med katedralen en blok væk, så uafhængighedssammensvorne kunne flygte under spanske razziaer. Tunnelindgangen er stadig synlig gennem en glasrude i gulvet, lige under hvor besøgende står i den centrale gårdhave.
Insidertips
- Pause at the glass floor panel near the courtyard's far corner to spot the original tunnel entrance below.
- The handwritten independence act on display is a replica, ask the guide to show you the real hidden copy kept in a secured room.
- Photography is allowed in the courtyard and main rooms but avoid using flash near the restored frescos.
- Arrive when doors open at 8 AM on Saturdays for a nearly empty experience before the midday crowds appear.
