What individuals and events in history are a source of pride for Paraguay?
How has Paraguay's culture been influenced by its history?
Paraguayan culture is a blend of indigenous traditions, Spanish colonial heritage, and more recent influences from neighboring countries. Indigenous languages and crafts are still widely practiced, while Spanish-style architecture and cuisine can be seen throughout the country. Paraguay's history of strong leaders like Francia and the country's difficult experiences with war have also contributed to a sense of national pride and resilience.
