Independence House Museum
Asunción, Paraguay
The Independence House Museum, also known as Casa de la Independencia, is a historic colonial-style building in Asunción, Paraguay, where Paraguay's movement for independence from Spanish rule was secretly planned and declared on the evening of May 14, 1811.
