The city
City of the Central department, 37 km from Asunción, founded in 1539 and known as the city of the pitcher and of honey. The Franciscan temple of San Blas, from 1698, houses a colonial altarpiece, and the town’s lagoon has lookouts and caimans. The house of Rosa Brítez, the town’s best-known ceramist, keeps the clay tradition alive. Itá is also the city of the torta de miel, made with cane molasses.
