Шаблон:Infobox settlement Caacupé (Шаблон:IPA-es; Guarani: Ka'akupe, literally: "Behind the Mount") is a city and district in Paraguay. It is the capital of the department of Cordillera.
The town was founded in 1770 by Carlos Murphy, a grenadier in the service of King Charles III of Spain, although a first settlement existed here from the 17th century.[1]
The city is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Caacupé. Caacupé is best known as the site of the Шаблон:Ill, Saint Patron of Paraguay. The Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Miracles, Caacupé stands in the centre of the town. A major religious festival is held annually on 8 December in honour of the statuette "Our Lady of the Miracles". This statuette, carved in the 16th century by a devout convert, was miraculously saved from a great flood, and numerous miracles are ascribed to it.[2]
During the rest of the year Caacupé is a quiet provincial town. It has a park with amusements.
