Jesus de Tavarangue

Doctor Luis Terwindt
The urban structure of Jesus de Tavarangue survives as an archaeological ruin. This reduccion was founded at a different location in 1685 and moved a few years later to this site when the mission was built. It consisted of the church (which remained unfinished), the Major Square, the school attached to the church of which only one room survives, and houses for orphans and widows known as Coty Guazu or Great House. The mission also had an orchard for priests.
