Cultural and Historic Places in Paraguay from OpenStreetMap

An OpenStreetMap export of cultural and historic places in Paraguay, including museums, galleries, theatres, places of worship, monuments, and historic sites. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Map cultural heritage sites for protection planning based on the `historic` and `heritage` tags.
• Analyze the distribution of tourism amenities like museums and galleries based on the `tourism` tag.
• Create a cultural resource inventory for urban planning based on the `amenity` tag for places like theatres.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Covers multiple cultural place types including museums, galleries, theatres, places of worship, monuments, and historic sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
