Ruins of Jesús de Tavarangue

Jesús de Tavarangue was a Jesuit Reduction located in what is now Itapua, Paraguay.

The Reducción de Jesús was initially founded in what is now Alto Parana in 1685 near the Monday river.

[1] Construction of the mission was not completed by the time the Jesuit order was expelled from Paraguay in 1767.

It would have been one of the biggest churches of that time, with a central structure of 70 by 24 metres (230 by 79 ft).

The Jesuit Ruins in Paraguay are possibly the best preserved in South America and include the Jesús, San Cosme y Damián and Trinidad Missions.
