La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná is a historic Jesuit reduction located in Paraguay, near the city of Encarnación. Founded in the early 17th century, it is one of the best-preserved examples of the Jesuit missions established in South America to evangelize and educate the indigenous Guaraní people. The site features impressive ruins, including a large church, a central plaza, communal living quarters, and various other structures that reflect the architectural and cultural achievements of the Jesuits and the Guaraní.
