San Ignacio ((:san iɣˈnasjo)), also known as San Ignacio Guazú, is a city and district in the Misiones Department of Paraguay, located from Asunción. ==History== It was founded on December 29, 1609 by the Jesuit Priests Marcial de Lorenzana and Francisco de San Martín, accompany by Cacique (native word for “chief”) Arapysandú, who took them to his lands, where they built an altar and celebrated the first mass. The Jesuit Mission was established officially in 1610 with the name of “San Ignacio Guazú” so it wouldn’t be confused with another mission “San Ignacio Miní” in Misiones, Argentina. In February of the same year, Father Roque González de Santa Cruz organized the mission, turning it into the center of all the Jesuit missions in Paraguay. The Jesuits that founded other towns such as: Santa Rosa, Santiago, Santa María, San Cosme y Damián and even Encarnación, left from San Ignacio in order to do so. Originally located in the area where nowadays is Santa Rita, moved to Santiago and later to the current location. The first inhabitants of San Ignacio were the natives that learned many arts from the European masters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「San Ignacio, Paraguay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
