Cultural Center of the Republic

It has the objective of being a place open to everyone, with no discrimination, which operates in the old building of the Town Council, a colonial Spanish institution that, in America, granted the title of City to the first citizen establishment of Río de la Plata.

When the building became the Cultural Center of the Republic, it had to be reorganized and determine which places would serve as halls for exhibits and which as administrative area.

In the west wing, the main hall in the first floor it is used for thematic temporary exhibits and presentation of events such as theater, concerts, ballets, etc.

The hall exhibits wood carvings of the old Jesuit and FranciscanMissions from the colonial time and the 20th century, as well as other objects of sacred art and pieces of artifacts related with the national history.

It has a Conference Hall and the Library “Augusto Roa Bastos” for artistic activities such as visual arts, music, literature, theater and ballet.
