Estadio General Pablo Rojas, locally known as La Olla or La Nueva Olla and for sponsorship reasons known as Estadio ueno La Nueva Olla, is a football stadium in the neighbourhood of Barrio Obrero in Asunción, Paraguay. It is the home of Cerro Porteño. The stadium's nickname, La Olla, meaning The Pot in English, was given by the club's former president, General Pablo Rojas, after whom the stadium was named following his death. The stadium was used during the 1999 Copa América, hosting a Group C fixture between Uruguay and Colombia. The stadium seats slightly over 45,000 spectators and has balconies, car parking, food courts and canteens in all sectors.

Big church with a big pipe organ, the only one in the country.
A nice shady park with bookstores and some old buildings around it. Free wifi.
Central Railway Station
Paraguay was the first country in South America to have a steam-powered train. It now houses a museum, but more impressive is the building itself and old wagons.
Houses the tomb of the unknown soldier along with other national heroes from Paraguay's history, also commemorative plaques for heroes of the Triple Alliance and Chaco War. Changing of the guard occurs every other day.
Renovated; check for regular shows. Nice cafe at one of theater's corners.
Catedral Metropolitana
The national cathedral. Next to the broad and picturesque plaza Independencia.
